- 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.
