Reminders

Medication

Medication can only be administered at school following completion of the necessary forms at the school office. If children use asthma puffers or any other self-administered medication at school this also needs to be discussed with the school administration to ensure the safest and most effective plan is implemented.

Neighbours driveways

The driveways of some neighbours of the school have been blocked by parents picking children up at the end of the day. All parents are asked to avoid blocking any driveways or other access points when picking children up from school.

Arriving to school on time

The early morning session is the most valuable learning

time for all students at school. Parents are asked to

please ensure that children arrive at school before 9am

so that their learning and the learning of other children

is not disrupted.
