Office Hours during Term Time: 8:30am - 3:30pm 

School Hours

Start Time: 9.00 am

Lateness

If your child arrives after 9.00am they must come into the office to sign in and get a late slip to take back to class. If they do not sign in and have missed the role you will receive a text or phone call regarding their absence. Thank you for your co-operation regarding this.

Absences

If your child is absent, please use the HERO app to notify the office.

The school operates a system whereby parents are requested to phone or email before 9am should a child be absent or late for school.

If no information is received regarding an absence parents or caregivers will be sent a text or phoned to check the reason for the child's absence when the roll was taken. Failure to notify the school causes a certain amount of extra work so it would be appreciated if advice of absences could be given.
