Late and Early Departure

Lateness

We understand that mornings can be busy, but it’s important for students to arrive on time. Starting the day on time helps them get settled and prepared for their day of learning. When students are late, it can be harder for them to catch up on important routines that help them stay organised throughout the day. Regular lateness can build up over time and affect learning progress and confidence. We appreciate your support in helping your child arrive on time.

School Hours

Monday to Friday: 8.55am - 3.00pm (The first bell goes at 8.55am for student to make their way to class for Check and Connect). 

Leaving School Early

For safety reasons, students must follow the correct procedures when leaving school during the day.

• Parents or guardians need to sign their child out in person at the reception, using the VISTAB system. The reason for leaving must be clear and specific. If the reason doesn’t meet our criteria for a justified absence (see below), it will be marked as E (Explained and considered unjustified).
• To make the most of their time in class, students will stay in class until a parent or guardian arrives. Once on site, the student will then be called to the reception.

Please also remember that only adults listed in Hero are authorised to pick up your child. If someone not listed in the system will be picking up your child, please call the office at 06 3268299 to inform us.
