Morning playground duty commences at 8.15am.
A parent/guardian supervises Prep children until 8.35am. Parents are to ensure that all children leave the grounds by 3.30pm. Should there be a difficulty in arranging for your child to be collected by this time, please contact the school as soon as possible.
Parents/Caregivers must sign the register in the Office for all late arrivals (after 8.35am) and for all early departures (before 3.00pm) before children are collected from the classroom.
Class rolls are marked at 8.35am and a SMS sent to

Students who arrive before 8.15am must move directly to the undercover area. If they have a bike or scooter, they will park it in the appropriate bike/bag rack and then move to the undercover area. Students cannot remain near the classrooms. Once the two teachers on duty arrive, students will leave the undercover area

Assemblies
Each school day commences at 8.35am.
​
All children from Prep to Year 6 assemble under the covered area on Monday and Friday mornings. We join in prayer and acknowledge each other’s achievements, celebrate birthdays and share important information.
​
At 8.35am on Friday mornings, our school community gathers for a Prayer Assembly. Each class is rostered during the term to lead the Prayer Assembly.
All parents and friends are welcome to attend.
As well as these occasions, the school comes together for a variety of Liturgical Celebrations that recognise important events in the life of the school, as well as that of the Church and community (Anzac Day, Holy Week and St Paul’s Feast Day).
We celebrate a combined parish and school mass each term.
