# Timings of the school day

Our school gates open at **8:30am** and we ask families to arrive promptly before the gates close and registration starts at **8:45am**.

It is crucial for children to arrive punctually, as lateness not only disrupts learning but also places undue strain on our office team, who need to escort latecomers to their classes. If children are late, parents must accompany them to the office to sign them in, as children are not responsible for this task.

Break time is scheduled from 10:30 to 10:45 in the morning, followed by a staggered lunch breaks between 12:15pm to 1:15pm.

Our school day finishes at **3:15pm**.

Additionally, every afternoon, all classes participate in a daily mile walk, promoting physical activity and well-being.

There are a total of 32.5 hours per week.
