Before school
Teachers commence duty at 8:30am in the mornings. We ask that children do not arrive earlier than this time as there is no active teacher supervision.
The breakfast club is available from 8:30am in the Special Education class room. The breakfast program is available for all students and ensures that every child has a great start to their school day.
At 8:55am students assemble on the southern quadrangle, where daily organisation and messages are passed to students.
End of day
At 3:00pm students are dismissed from their classrooms. There are teachers on duty at both pedestrian crossings and bus duty.
