Rules, rules, rules

In Secondary School we have a few rules that keep us safe and help us to respect each others’ space in school. Here is a reminder of a few:

  • Bags in lockers at lunchtimes (not the Design Centre, the gym changing rooms, the lost and found cupboard or the elevator!)
  • No bags in the Cafeteria at lunchtime
  • G6-10 Students should not be in the upstairs corridor at lunchtime

Please remember that after school you should go home unless you are staying for an organised activity:

  • Only Grade 10-12 students may be in the Cafe after school unless you are with your parents
  • The Library and Cafeteria are open for students waiting for an activity to start at 4:15pm

And finally.. please respect our rules about not bringing food from outside on to the campus.

Yours in rules that stop us from being unruly, Mrs Clarke
