Playground Supervision

I would like to inform parents of the playground supervision times before and after school in our Prep School.

Before School      8.05am – 8.30am
After School         3.00pm  – 3.30pm

Boys should not arrive to school before 8.00am unless they are involved in a supervised co-curricular activity.  Boys not collected by 3.30pm will be taken to Outside Hours Care (OSHC) – Camp Australia and parents charged for the service.

Safety Outside School

Picking up and dropping off of boys safely at school times is a genuine concern for our school community.  Please note the curbside restrictions at the front of our school and obviously observe the Children Crossing and accompanying speed limit zones.  Ku-ring-gai Council Rangers continually monitor parking outside our school and do issue infringement notices to drivers observed parking illegally and dangerously.

Haircuts

Hair grooming is as important as uniform in our school.  It is great to see so many families respond positively to this.  Some boys still require a haircut which conforms with our expectations.

Uniform

All clothing and other property brought to school must be clearly marked with your son’s name.  Every effort will be made to trace lost property that has a name attached.

*  Uniform will be monitored as usual when boys arrive, line up for class and as they leave the school in the afternoon.

*  Black School Shoes need to be shined prior to the new school day.  Laces neat and without frayed ends.

*  White Sports Shoes (sneakers) should be predominantly white.

*  Grey shorts and grey-white shirts are clean and pressed.

*  White hats are compulsory for the boys to be playing outdoors.

*  Black Prep Cap is to be worn to and from school

*  Ties are to be done up to the top button and removed only when changing after arriving at school if they have fitness.  Please note that boys are permitted to wear their Sesquicentenary Ties during 2013 and they should be worn appropriately.

Medication

Please ensure that if children require medication, ointment or drops to be administered during school hours, the medication must be brought to the School Office and a Request to Administer Medication form completed.  Under NO circumstances should the medication be left in the children’s school bag and/or administered without staff supervision.  All families should provide the school with an up to date Medical Information form.
