REMINDER: Playgrounds Before <strong>School</strong>: Children, students and siblings, are not permitted on<br />

school playgrounds before school. There is no supervision provided and we prefer children to<br />

come into class calm and ready for learning.<br />

Classrooms are open from 8.30am; if you are at school before 8.30am can you please wait in one of<br />

the eating areas with your child/ren. Please note that supervision of children at this time is parents‟<br />

responsibility.<br />

Playgrounds After <strong>School</strong>: Our preference would be for students not to play on the playgrounds<br />

after school due to the fact that there is no supervision provided by the school. If you choose to<br />

allow your child/ren to use the playground/s you are agreeing to actively supervise your child.<br />

There have been a number of parents raising concerns about hands on behaviour in the playgrounds<br />

after school. As this is something that is happening outside school hours of supervision it is parents‟<br />

responsibility to address any issues that may arise.<br />

Thank you for a wonderful term, enjoy the holidays!<br />
