2025 FIRST DAY
All children will be starting school on Thursday February 6, 2025. This is the first day of school for all students from K-6.
Entry to the school for Kindergarten students will be via the Alfred Street and Ronald Avenue gates.
To ease congestion and crowds near classrooms on the first day, and to enable a smooth transition for students, we encourage students to arrive at the following times according to the child's surname:
A-F arrive at 9:00am
G-L arrive at 9:15am
M-S arrive at 9:30am
T-Z arrive at 9:45am
When you arrive, please check the board and find your child's class. We will have staff at the gate to assist you in finding your child's classroom. When you arrive at the classroom, help your child locate their name badge, then assist them in placing their fruit break and recess in their tub.
On their first day only (Thursday 6th February), Kindergarten students will finish school at 2:30pm. Please enter through the Ronald Ave and Alfred St gates and wait outside the Kindergarten rooms.
Students who attend after school care will be collected from the Kindergarten classrooms by OHSC staff.
2025 FIRST WEEKS
From Friday 7th February, students will start and finish school at the regular school hours of 8:55am-3pm. Kindergarten students should enter via the Ronald Ave or Alfred St gates and will play in the Kindergarten classrooms from 8.45am.
To enable a smooth morning start, we request that parents and carers do not enter the school grounds in the mornings. We will have teachers and Year 6 buddies to show your children where to go. Extensive experience has shown us that students have a very positive start when parents/carers have a quick goodbye. Please take the time to talk to your child about this to prepare them.
School will finish at the usual time of 3:00pm each day. Gates are open for parents from 2:55pm and students are to be collected from outside their classroom.
