Arrival, Departure, and School Hours 

Arrival: To align with the supervision schedule, students from nursery to year 1 may enter from 08:00. Students in year 2 to year 6 may enter the campus beginning at 07:45; they should arrive at school no later than 08:05 to allow time for settling in and connecting with their peers. Parents and guardians drop off their children via the following gates: 

• Nursery to Year 1 students should be dropped off near the Parent Sala gate (Gate 2). 

• Year 2 to Year 6 students can enter through the Assembly Hall gate (Gate 1). 

• Parents with students in both age groups can choose either gate to enter. 

In the morning, we encourage children to demonstrate confidence and independence to make their own way to the classroom once we are past the “settling in period.” 

Late Arrival: Punctuality is an important habit for children to develop. Any child arriving after the flag ceremony at 08:15 will be marked “late” within the attendance record. Children who arrive after 08:30 are required to sign in at the relevant school office. After signing in, students may walk to class on their own. 

Lateness is considered in the student’s overall attendance record. Late arrivals are monitored by the school office. If lateness exceeds 3 occurrences within a term, the family will be contacted by the school office. 

Departure: Please note, we do not offer a late pickup supervision service. We ask that you help us to keep your children safe by arriving within ten minutes of the end of the school day. (See times above). Parents may wait outside of the designated school gates to pick up their child. The Parent Sala is available for those who arrive early. 

• Nursery to Year 1 students should be collected from their classrooms. Caregivers enter and exit via Gate 3 and children exit via Gate 2. 

• Year 2 to Year 3 students exit through Gate 3

• Year 4 to Year 6 students exit at the Assembly Hall (Gate 1)

After 16:15 (14:40 on Fridays), children being picked up late must be signed out at the Primary School Office. 

Authorised Pick-up Adults: At the beginning of the academic year, parents are asked to designate their authorised pick-up adults. These adults should wear their school badges when dropping off and collecting a child. 

Parents must inform the homeroom teacher and the Primary School Receptionist if you wish to delegate picking up duties to a third party, such as a family friend or for a playdate with a classmate. Parents are expected to give the full name and details of the person authorised to pick up a student to the Primary School Office and the homeroom teachers. If the change in plans involves after-school activities, the Athletics and Activities Director must also be informed. 

Once students have been signed out of school at the end of the day, they become the full responsibility of their parents and may not re-enter the school grounds unless permission has been granted by the staff on supervision duty.
