Early attention to enrolment will prevent what could be a long wait in a queue on the first day of school. See details of this year's enrolment session. In case of emergencies, children and staff practise regular emergency drills so that children and staff can be evacuated quickly if the need were to arise. Some set tasks may be given which will assist the child to consolidate work which has been taught previously throughout the day - work in such subjects as Social Studies, Maths and Spelling. We suggest you ask the classroom teacher what the homework expectations are for your child.
Homework is a training for later study habits at secondary and tertiary levels of education.
It also gives the parent an indication of the type of work the child is doing at school. Children who have homework commitments should be given the opportunity to work quietly and conscientiously, at a time and place which would be conducive to successful learning. If your child is unable to do homework for some reason, please forward a note to the teacher to this effect. We are always willing to discuss a child's progress or problems with parents. If you are in doubt about what your child should be achieving, then arrange an appointment with the class teacher, Principal, or Deputy Principal.
