Early Departure
Could we please request that when parents/carers are collecting students early from school that where possible, break times be avoided. Break times are 11:25am - 12:05pm and 1:55pm - 2:25pm. If these times can't be avoided, could you please arrange with the classroom teacher to have your child's bag brought to the office prior to break time.
Student Messages
If you are needing the office staff to pass a message to your child during the day for after school arrangements, could you please contact the office via phone, not via email, as early as possible, prior to 1:30pm is ideal.
