The first day of school can be both exciting and emotional. Take the time to talk through the day with younger children, assuring them that their teacher is there to help them, and there will be many other students feeling just like them. Older students may be more familiar with school procedures, and should be encouraged to set goals for their new school year. Talk with them about their effort, character, homework and behaviour – what will they put in, and what will be the result.

Please see the Get Ready Day! information here.

The car park and Kiss&Drop is extremely busy on the first day of school. Please keep to the 10km/h speed limit at all times.
