Drop off & Collection of Students

At the front area of the school there is a “Kiss and Go” area designated for the purpose of safely dropping off and picking up students.  Cars may enter this bay only for this purpose and are not to park in this area between 8.25 a.m. - 9.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. - 4.00 p.m.
Please note that the bus arrives to collect bus travelers at approximately 3.12 p.m. and 3.25 p.m. and has the right of way.
At the end of each school day, the collection of students is fully supervised and no child is allowed to cross the road unaccompanied by an adult or proceed to their car in the pick-up line unless they have been directed by a teacher on duty. Parents must not call children to their car. Once children have been collected, cars must proceed out of the pickup zone and along the road. NO U-TURNS are permitted.
  • No child may leave the school grounds during the school day without a parent or guardian. All parents are required to report to the administration office to sign their child in or out between the hours of 9 a.m. to 3.25 p.m.

Supervision

Teachers supervise the school yard from 8.25 a.m. and after school until 3.40 p.m.  Children are not to be at school before or after these times. It is important that parents adhere to these times, as staff often have before and after school meetings to attend. Children who are still at school after 3.40 p.m. will sit in the office until parents are contacted and arrive to collect them.
