School Drop off
A friendly reminder to take care when parking and
dropping children off before school.
There have been incidents with parents reversing in cars and not seeing
students walking. The teachers no
longer park in the middle of the turning bay so this area can be used as well
as down below the field. If you do
require coming into the school to drop your child off, please park either down
by the field or in the parking bay. The
safety of our students is our priority.
Please ensure all students are at school before
8.30am so they are ready to start their learning and be mindful that students
are to be picked up at 2.00pm and all students gone by 2.30pm unless they have
an after school activity.
Soifua
