Lessons begin at 9:00am with a teacher commencing duty outside and classroom doors opening at 8:30am.  This allows time for students to set up for the first session and to greet teachers before heading outside to play with friends until the morning bell signals the start of school. 

The school day ends at 3:00pm.  If a student has not been collected by a family member by 3:10pm the class or duty teacher will accompany them to the office from where parents will be contacted.  Parents are responsible for their child outside school hours unless they are booked with Lady Gowrie in the afternoon.  If using school grounds out of hours it is important to play safely and to be mindful of noise levels as staff members are working nearby.

Schools are required to follow up on unexplained absences and we greatly appreciate notification of absences, by email, through our website or with a phone call on the day to assist us in monitoring attendance.   In addition if your child has an appointment, and is therefore late arriving or has an early departure, we require the adult carer to sign the child in or out at the office. Thank you
