The School Day

The School DAY

Ensuring that children attend school regularly and arrive on time is essential to their academic success and overall well-being.

We ask that all students arrive between 7:00am, when staff supervision begins, and 7:30am, when the school day starts promptly. The gates close at 7.30am and the children stand to the National Anthem each morning before starting their day.

Punctuality allows children to settle into their learning, engage fully from the beginning of each lesson, and feel a strong sense of belonging within their class community. Arriving late can result in missed learning opportunities and may impact both academic progress and social confidence.

The school day for all primary students runs from 7:30am to 2:30pm. Students in Years 1 and 2 have two 20-minute breaks during the day. Students in Years 3 to 6 also have two breaks, one lasting 40 minutes and the other 20 minutes.
