Read on to find out why the bell rings a few minutes before 9am....

We are having a trial with our school bell ringing a few minutes before 9am each day.  School still starts at 9am but the bell is being rung a few minutes before as a reminder to the students to start heading to class so that they can all be sitting on the mat, ready to have the roll taken, right at 9am!  When students arrive late for school it disrupts the class and they lose learning time as they have to go to the office to register as being late.   This trial is to see if we can get the students into class, and into learning, at 9am.
