First Day of Term School Procedures

On the first day of each new term we welcome our all new students in the auditorium. There is a short registration and then students are taken to their classrooms.
Parents are welcome to accompany their child into the school on the first day as there is an opportunity to meet our Head of School, and the leadership teams from both Primary and Secondary.
Primary students will be accompanied to their classroom by our support staff and parents are welcome to help settle their child and meet the class teacher.
Secondary students will meet their Head of Year in the auditorium and will be accompanied to their homeroom by their class buddy or Head of Year.
All textbooks and note books are provided by the school as part of the tuition. These will be provided to students on their first day of school. In Primary, stationery, including pencils and pens are provided to the students. Students will be issued with a school diary in both Primary and Secondary.
In Primary, the school diary is used as a communication tool between the class teacher and the home. Class teachers will provide further information regarding Primary timetables via email.
In Secondary, the diary is for the student to support their learning and to manage their school timetable.
All students in Primary and Secondary will be allocated a locker where they can keep their belongings. Secondary students are encouraged to use a lock for their locker.
All students should bring a water bottle to school which can be refilled at the numerous water fountains located in the school.
Students from Year 3 to Year 12 will be issued with a student card. Students will be responsible for the safe keeping of their student card.
Students from Year 4 to Year 9 are required to use a school laptop. The school laptop will be issued to them on their first day. For more information on the laptop program, please refer to the “Laptop program” section.
Orientation for new students. Each new student will be allocated a ‘buddy’ from their classroom or homeroom and this buddy will give your child a tour, sit and/or play with them at lunch and be able to answer any questions they may have. Students will meet their ‘buddy’ in their classroom/homeroom on the first day of school.
For those students who begin with the school after the beginning of a school term they will be greeted by the admissions team and then accompanied to their classroom or home room. All other processes will then take place with the support of the Primary or Secondary school section.
