Bell Times and Attendence

Students enjoying their break time
Our school day is structured around a clear timetable. We have set times for learning sessions, activities and lunch. Understanding the bell times helps students get the most out of each part of the day.

Our Bell Times

Neville Street is closed to traffic from Monday to Friday between 8am - 4pm. This allows for the safe passage of our students between our two school sites. The hours of operation align with the school safety zone times.

Attendance

Students are expected to attend school every day, whether it's the first or last day of term, a Monday or Friday, or a day set aside for a sports carnival, excursion or incursion.

Regular attendance brings real benefits, supporting continuous learning, helping students build friendships, and enhancing their wellbeing through access to support and a high-quality education.

My child is running late

It's important for students to arrive on time each day. If your child is running late, please contact our front office

All students must be accompanied by a parent or carer to the front office to record their arrival if arriving after the 9:20am bell.

If your child is sick or absent, please provide a reason for the absence via School Bytes(opens in new window).

My child needs to leave early?

If you need to collect your child early from school, it's essential that you enter this absence into School Bytes (opens in new window) before arriving to collect them:

This will ensure your child is in the office ready and waiting for when you arrive.

Please do your best to schedule appointments outside of school hours, though we know this isn't always possible.
