Dropping off your child

If you are dropping your child to school it is important to bear in mind that classes start at 9:00am. You are expected to drop your child at the school no later than 8:50am so that they can get themselves organised for class at 9:00am.
We kindly ask parents not to drop students within the school grounds/carpark. This is because it can be dangerous and it leads to congestion.
Please be mindful of residents living beside the school when dropping-off or collecting your child. Please do not block the entrance to their property or the entrance to the school.
