Morning Arrival: Accelerator/Revision Time

• At 7:45 am, our primary students begin their day with a special session dedicated to revision and acceleration work. 

• This early morning period, known as Accelerator/Revision Time, is crucial for providing extra support and advanced learning opportunities tailored to each child's needs. 

• For our youngest learners, aged 5 and below, this time is especially beneficial as it offers individualized learning and support. 

• Drop off your child at least 5 minutes before 7:45 am, this will ensure your child doesn't miss out on this valuable opportunity

• Your cooperation will help us maximize their learning potential and set a positive tone for the rest of the day.
