Community Update #3.2

 

Community Update #3.3



This week we met with the building teams for the forthcoming works. The kinder is due to commence in a week. Our piority is ensuring the safety of each child, and maintaining as much play space as possible. As of next Monday, the back gates will be locked.


From Monday, all children must enter through the front gates or the church driveway gates, and exit the same way. We will stagger the departure to ensure minimal conjestion. The bike shed is only accessible though the church gates. A reminder that the morning bell rings at 8.40, but children have until 8.55 to enter school, so there is no need to gather early.
