Home Group
Home Group begins promptly at 8.50am. Ideally, all students should arrive at school around 8.30am to give themselves enough time to be organised for an 8.50am start. Home Group is an important part of the day to welcome students, make connections, frame the day's learning, ensure that essential information is shared (including handouts) - and to mark the first roll of the day.
