SCHOOL REGULATIONS

NAMING OF PERSONAL ITEMS

All items such as bags, lunch boxes, school uniform and items of clothing that can be removed such as shoes, parkas and coats, should be named as this will assist with the retrieval of lost items. The school has a lost property basket, so if your child loses something this can be checked. (Located in the Sick Room)

SCHOOL BAG

All children require a bag or case of suitable size to hold their lunch, home book cover, and other school work. It is suggested that a zip-up or back-pack type are the most suitable.

TOYS

Teachers can accept no responsibility for toys brought to school which become lost or broken. Such articles as knives, bows and arrows, darts or other dangerous toys are definitely banned. If children bring books from home, please ensure that they are named.

MONEY

It is suggested that any money sent to school with a child is placed in an envelope on which is written the child's name, amount of money and what it is for (e.g. book club, excursions, craft, etc.)

GLASSWARE

It is preferable that children do not bring their drinks, toys, bugs, spiders, etc to school in a glass jar or bottle. Some form of plastic or cardboard container is safer and more suitable for school.

CHILDREN LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS

Children are not permitted to leave the school at any time during the day unless permission has been granted by a teacher. If, at any time and for any reason, you need to take your child away during school hours, it is extremely important that you speak in person to the child's teacher or the Principal before you leave. If you fail to do this, much time could be wasted by teachers trying to locate the missing child. If your child does come home unaccompanied during school hours, please notify the school as soon as possible and return the child unless he/she is unwell.

SCHOOL VISITS

When visiting the school during school hours for purposes of:
a. Interviewing teachers.
b. Delivering messages.
c. Collecting children for appointments, etc.
Parents should first, if possible see the Principal so that school and classroom organization is not interrupted, and misunderstandings can be avoided.

JEWELLERY

For obvious reasons jewellery IS NOT encouraged at school, and earrings in particular can cause concern. The cases of children having damaged ear lobes as a result of "sleepers" being caught on things is not uncommon. Consequently, we would ask that children with pierced ears wear studs if anything and not be allowed to wear any larger "dangling" varieties.
