Inform your child’s teacher who is fetching your child, so that it can be recorded in the teacher’s Lift Book.

Someone will be on duty until 08h00 in the mornings; thereafter the gate will remain locked and will NOT be opened. Please be on time and have your child at school by 07h50. Please help us to enforce this ruling so that we can ensure the safety of your children.

Clothing

All clothes must be marked. We are not responsible for clothing that is not marked.
Children in the Lilac and Peppermint Groups must have a complete change of clothing.
Paint used by the children is easily washed from clothing. However, please send your children in old clothes.
High heels, slipslops and long skirts should not be worn, as these can be dangerous when using outdoor apparatus.
The children in the Lilac and Peppermint Groups have their hands and faces washed and their clothing changed if necessary.
The children in the Lemon, Aquamarine and Strawberry Groups are encouraged to be independent. Do not expect clean children at the end of a busy day.

Please discourage your child from bringing toys, sweets or removable jewellery to school.

Please place money in an envelope with your child's name.

Please Note

Please notify us of any change of address or telephone number immediately. This is important in case an emergency should arise.
