Assembly

Student prayer assemblies are held every morning. They are led by the Principal, Members of Staff or individual classes. Spirituality is an important part of our school curriculum. It sets the tone for our daily activities. Therefore, parents are asked to ensure that their children arrive on time so that they can participate in the daily assemblies.


Emergency Procedures

Emergency evacuation drills take place regularly. In the event of fire or other hazards the students are trained to leave the buildings immediately as the alarm is sounded. Students and staff assemble on the playing field (exit to Fondes Amandes Road) or on the parking lot on Ariapita Road. In case of any real emergency the school office will notify the PTA Executive and PTA class representatives who will advise the parents of the children of the various classes.

The media will also be notified.


Nutrition

Parents are encouraged to provide healthy choices for their children. Our School Tuck Shop prepares hot lunches every day.
