STUDENTS LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS – BEFORE SCHOOL
Please remind your son / daughter they are not allowed to leave the school grounds after they have been dropped off by their parents / caregivers or the bus. We have had instances where students have gone across the road to purchase food and drinks and bring these items into the school grounds. If you wish them to purchase some appropriate healthy food or drink prior to school, then they must purchase it before being dropped off in the school grounds. No student is to bring coke, V or high sugar drinks into the school – these will be confiscated and tipped out.
