CHILDREN AT SCHOOL AFTER HOURS

Dear Parents

There has been an alarming increase in the numbers of young

students hanging around after school hours.

The school is responsible for all students on our grounds and we

do not have the means to supervise these young students after

hours.

We are also committed to honouring our undertakings to

minimise noise to neighbours.

Please ensure you collect your child on time and that they are off

site by 3.15 pm when duties finish.

Thank you for your cooperation.
