Before School Playground Safety Rules and Requirements
School Gates opened from 8.30 am
Our school gates will be opened from 8.30 am each morning. Please do not enter the school through the front office before school begins at 9.00 am unless you have an appointment or business to conduct with front office staff.
We recommend that children begin to arrive at school approximately 10-15 minutes before the start of the school day at 9.00 am and assemble outside their classroom. In the event of inclement weather, children will be called to proceed under cover or inside the building as appropriate.
