Bell times

Our school day is structured around a clear timetable. We have set times for learning sessions, activities and lunch. Understanding the bell times helps students get the most out of each part of the day.

It's important for students to arrive on time each day. If your child is running late, please contact our front office.

Daily routines and playground supervision

Before school

Students in Year 3 to Year 6 proceed to the primary asphalt playground and play until it is time to go into class. Kindergarten to Year 2 students move to their area on the northern side of our two storey building after 8:30am. A teacher is on duty in this area for the 25 minutes until students line up.

Early arrival

Students are requested to arrive at school no earlier than 8:30am, as there is no teacher on duty before then. All students arriving early are to sit on the Stage 2/3 lunch seats until the first bell.

Recess

Students eat recess under the supervision of teachers. Time is given to eat, go to the toilet and play.

Lunch

For the first ten minutes of lunch, classes eat under the supervision of the class teachers. On the play bell, students proceed to the appropriate play areas. There are numerous teachers on duty throughout lunch.

Morning and afternoon

Roads and Maritime Services Crossing Supervisors ensure the children cross Gray Street safely. A drop off zone exists on Gray Street.

Wet weather

During wet weather, students arriving between 8:30am and 8:55am are to proceed to classrooms.
