As we approach the end of Term 1, we are reaching out to strengthen our partnership with families in supporting student punctuality and attendance.

From the beginning of Term 2, we will be placing a strong focus on students arriving at school on time and attending every class promptly. This is not only a legal requirement but a vital foundation for student learning and wellbeing.

The first bell goes at 8.45am, with Pastoral Care commencing at 8.50am. We are seeing an increasing number of students being dropped off after this time, which results in late arrivals and missed learning.

We ask for your support in ensuring that:

• Students are dropped off before the first bell
• Students arriving after 8.50am sign in at the front office
• Compass is used only for recording absences, not for general messages
• Morning routines are adjusted if needed to support on-time arrival

We will also be working with students directly to build habits of responsibility and independence in getting to class on time and ensuring they are correctly signed in when late.

Let us work together to give every student the best start to their day.

Thank you for your continued support.
