school clothing
There is no school uniform.  During the winter term it is a good idea for children to have a change of clothes if they are likely to get wet and dirty playing rugby and other games.  Would parents please make sure that children's clothing is named.  The school has available for sale 'T' shirts and sweatshirts.  Sunhats from home - very important!

leaving school grounds

school bus
When enrolling your child/children you will need to indicate if you wish to use the school bus.  The Principal will then make the necessary arrangements with the bus driver regarding times, stops etc.

bus safety
Behaviour on buses and at bus stops is the responsibility of the Parents as well as the school and driver.  If a child is collected by a Parent and has indicated travel by bus PLEASE let the teacher on Duty know so the bus rolls can be altered. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. The loading bay at the school (near bike shed) must be kept free of cars around bus time to enable the driver to turn.  If Parents are picking up children from school please park your car on the school side of the road so children do not have to cross the road.  This is a busy road at times and drivers are not always watchful of small children crossing the road.

bus behaviour
Behaviour on the school bus is a joint responsibility - Parents and school.  Fighting, swearing, moving from the designated seats will not be tolerated.  If after 3 formal warnings and the child persists in going over the bounds of acceptable behaviour - then the child will be put off the bus for 1 week.  The next time it will be two weeks and so on.  The school bus service is a privilege not a right.
