School hours, recess and lunch

School hours

Primary school: 9.30am - 3.15pm
High school: 9.30am - 3.20pm or 3.25pm

Please do not let your children come late to school. They miss far more than you may realise.

  • The library will be open from 8.30am each morning. Children who arrive at school between 8.30am and 9.00am – except for Pathways students – will need to be brought to the Library and signed in. This is a duty of care requirement.
  • Supervision will be provided in the playground from 9.00am till classes begin.
  • Recess is not until 11.30am. We request that all students, who do not live locally, bring a healthy snack to eat as a 2nd breakfast before beginning the school day at 9.30am. The teacher on duty will supervise the eating of this 2nd breakfast from 9.20am. Fruit, muesli-type bars with low sugar content, nuts, crackers & cheese, a small sandwich etc are recommended.
  • Children will be supervised in the afternoons. This will include the turning circle and bus/train travellers.
