The buddy class programe gives the older children the opportunity to develop a range of qualities including leadership, responsibility, social skills and teaching techniques.

The programe helps develop a sense of community at the school and creates role models for our younger children.

Children Transferring to Other Schools

by | Nov 9, 2018 | | Information

When children are about to leave our school or transfer to another school, parents are asked to contact the school office at least a week or more beforehand, if at all possible.

This will provide adequate time to enable the staff to ensure that all records, books, medical cards, reports, etc have been completed or checked prior to the child’s departure.

It also allows us to farewell our students and wish them all the best in their new school.

Children’s Property
