School Office

Our School Office Staff are here to help you, however here are a few items that may be useful to parents and carers which you can view or download from our website.

Our School Day

The school day is 8.45-3.15pm.

Registration for all children is at 8.55am. Children enter the school building from 8.45a.m. and go to their class. All children use the bottom gate to access the school yard.

Our Breakfast Club begins at 8.00a.m. 0r 8.30am and children attending should use the rear door to enter the school.  Breakfast club must be pre-booked.

At the end of the school day (3.15p.m.) parents should wait on the main school yard until the class teacher escorts the children out of school. Children must be collected from the yard by a nominated adult, who is on our pick up list.

Times are different for Nursery children depending on their hours and they use the Nursery gate on a morning and afternoon.

Only Year 6 children can walk home alone and a consent letter must be provided. However this is only at 3.15pm.

All children must be collected on the yard by a nominated adult for after school clubs.

Children booked in for after school stay until 4.30pm or 5.30pm and this must be pre booked. Children can only be collected at these times.
