We welcome parents into our grounds in the morning from 8:40am when there is a teacher on duty and in the afternoons from 2:50pm.  Please collect your child from the top COLA or back gate.  Please do not wait at your child’s classroom as this can distract from learning. (This may change during COVID restrictions)

CHANGE OF ROUTINE FOR YOUR CHILD

Just a friendly reminder, if there is a change of routine for afternoon pickup, please phone the front office before 2.30pm to ensure we can get the message to your child in time.

Your child is in the playground at the above times and sourcing their location over 4 play areas can be a challenge for the office ladies.
