Let’s Continue our Consistent Predictable Routines

Let us continue placing a strong emphasis on maintaining consistent and predictable routines for the benefit of all. Please take note of the following guidelines to ensure a smooth transition between classes and we ask that parents/carers/guardians remind their child of these expectations and assist them by ensuring they have the correct material to ensure they are ‘ready to learn’.

1. Seating Between Classes: We kindly remind all students to remain seated in their classrooms during transitions between periods 1 and 2 and 4 and 5. Leaving classrooms during these intervals is discouraged.
2. Prompt Transition: Should you need to move to a different room, we expect you to arrive within 3 minutes of the period's starting time. It's essential to be punctual, as your classroom teacher will note lateness on the attendance roll.
3. Organised Materials: To promote efficiency, ensure your laptops and relevant materials for periods 1 and 2 and 4 and 5 are organised in advance. Please refrain from leaving your classes to retrieve materials between classes.

Following these routines can create a more helpful learning environment for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to making Term 4 productive and successful.
