ORGANISATION OF THE SCHOOL DAY
 
 
 The school gates open at 8:30 and remain open until 8:45.
 
 The school day begins at 8.45 with morning registration closing at 9.00.
 
Any child not in school at the beginning of the school day at 8.45 will be recorded as ‘late’. If s/he arrives after 9.00, this is classified as an absence for that morning session.
