Open House for All Students and Parents

• This is an optional opportunity for students and their parents to visit the school at any time between 9-10.30am for a “self-guided tour” of the site including the grounds, the classrooms, and other shared community spaces.

• Pop into your child(ren)’s classroom and greet the teacher and learning assistants (please note this is simply an informal introduction and “hello” rather than a formal meeting) there will be an opportunity for parents to meet with teachers more formally at our Parent Evening scheduled for 14th September.

• Health and Safety Note: We ask children not to use the playground equipment while visiting the school today as final preparations are still being made to ensure safety.

Wednesday, August 30th: 8:30 - 10:00am

A required morning for ALL children in Reception, Years 1 and 2 to meet their teacher and their classmates, as well as to familiarize themselves with classroom routines, procedures, and expectations.

• Children are to come wearing their new uniforms, including hats if they have one, as well as with a water bottle and school bag (for practice on how to organize their belongings once at school). Snack and lunch are NOT needed for today.

• In class, children will be involved in a few “getting to know you” activities. They will also have an opportunity to play outside.

• Drop off will be as follows:

1. Parents may choose to drive and drop off or to park (circled green) and accompany (circled red) their children to the drop off point under the Cabana at the front of the school.

2. Year 2 will enter by the gate leading to the football field and proceed to the playground to the rear of the school.

3. Reception and Year 1 will enter via the gate leading to their playground area.

4. We ask all parents who choose to accompany their children to the gates to stop at the gate and allow staff to walk children to their classrooms. This will help make the transition into school much smoother for all children.

5. In the event of rain, all children may enter via the Cabana, walking down the covered walkway before entering through the breezeway beside the school office. Parents may choose to accompany children only as far as the classroom door.

• Pick Up will be as follows:
