Students must wear their full sports uniform, joggers and school hat. Children will need to bring water, recess and lunch in a small backpack. There will be no opportunity to buy anything so students will not require any money.

Traffic permitting, we will return to school by 2:40pm. If our arrival back to school is delayed, you will receive an SMS text notification from the school via Sentral Parent Portal.
