LATE COMERS

There is a concern regarding the number of children being dropped off late in the morning.

As per our School Policy, the school day starts at 07h35 and the gates are locked. All

latecomers will be kept in the waiting area until registration period has finished and the

names of the latecomers will be recorded, as they will be marked absent for the day. If

parents are making use of transport services, please ensure that they are aware of the

correct times.

ADMINISTRATIVE

ITEMS LEFT AT HOME

We have noticed an increasing number of parents calling on the school office to deliver

clothing, lunches, messages, projects etc. Parents are encouraged to teach their children

responsibility in ensuring that children leave home in the morning with ALL their

requirements for the day.

Contact Details

Kindly ensure that the office is aware of any changes in contact details.

If a child is ill or injured we need to get hold of you urgently, and we

rely on the information that you have supplied.
