Every Minute Counts: Attendance and Being On Time
Mornings can be busy, and getting out the door on time isn’t always easy. But arriving at school before the bell really helps set your child up for a positive day.
Those first few minutes are more than just routine, they are a chance to connect with friends, join in at assembly, and settle into the learning environment. It’s a calm and social start that supports both wellbeing and learning. Even small delays can add up, being just 10 minutes late each day can result in over a week of lost learning time across the year.
We also kindly ask that all absences are recorded and explained through the Compass app. This helps us to keep track of attendance, support your child’s learning, and ensure their safety throughout the school day.
Thank you for helping your child start each day feeling calm, connected, and ready to learn.
Positive Behaviours for Learning
Our Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL) framework is built around three clear and consistent expectations that guide the way we learn, play, and interact every day:
Be Respectful. Be Responsible. Be Kind.
These expectations are taught explicitly across the school and help create a safe, supportive environment where every child can flourish. They guide how we treat one another, how we care for our environment, and how we approach learning.
When these messages are echoed at home, they become even more powerful. Thank you for supporting these shared values and helping reinforce them in everyday life.Together, we are helping students grow into confident, compassionate, and capable learners.
As a celebration of our students’ positive choices, our recent Jersey Day was a fun reward that recognised their ongoing commitment to these school expectations.
Have a great week!
