All students K-6 are expected to stay at school for the full school day on Thursday as per the

School Attendance policy.

There has been a trend recently that has seen students going home with their parents after special events at the school. We ask that parents work with us to discourage this, as regular attendance at school is essential to assist students to maximise their potential. Schools, in partnership with parents, are responsible for promoting the regular attendance of students.
