Lateness, Attendance and Buses

Alastair Sinton —

We have noticed a very small percentage of students arriving after the beginning of lesson one, some from buses (non-school Hopper), some on bikes or walking and some are being dropped off by families. It is an expectation that all students arrive at the college on time. Our first lessons begin at 8:45 am and students who arrive after this time disrupt the learning of others and put their learning at risk while having an adverse effect on their relationships with their teachers. While we appreciate traffic and distance are an issue for some, we require the support of families to ensure their child arrives at school on time.
