Monday 25th August

The first day of school for new WIS students in Years 5-8 will be on Monday 25th August. Drop-off time for new students is from 7:15am - 7:40am. Your Head of Year will share with you via email, what exit and entrance point you should use.

After your child/children have been dropped off with their teacher, you are warmly invited to the theatre for a Principal's welcome at 8 am, followed by an opportunity to meet the Senior Leadership team in the cafe. This event will finish at approximately 8:45 am.

All new students should be collected at 12:30 pm on Monday 25th August, from the collection point shared with you by your Head of Year.

Food

Food

Students in Year 5 & Year 6 should bring a healthy packed lunch to school. Students in Years 7 and 8 can choose whether to bring food from home or to use the cafeteria: 

1. Food from home: We encourage students to bring healthy and well-balanced lunch boxes to school. It must be noted that the school operates a strict no-nuts policy (including Nutella) to ensure we maximise student safety in relation to allergies. In line with Muslim values and respect for local culture, we also do not allow pork products into school. 

2. Cafeteria: During the first week, you will be given a Student ID (this is the same ID if you are a bus user). Students will be given a maroon student lanyard along with their ID card. This ID card can be used to purchase items from the cafeteria. You can read more information here. Please note that only students from Years 7 upwards will be able to use the cafeteria and Years 5-6 will need to bring a healthy and nut-free packed lunch.

Middle School students cannot be collected before these timings unless the school has received communication 24 hours before.
