Lower Primary
It is vital that any changes to transport or planned absences from the programs are communicated in advance. This information enables us to safely transition students from the classrooms to the swimming pool, and then to the desired mode of dismissal at 4pm, which includes;
Bus, Private Car, Walker, or a 4pm ASA.

During the registration process your child's default 4pm transport will be recorded for dismissal. That means unless your child is a registered Walker, their 4pm bus will be recorded as the default 4pm dismissal. You will need to use the link below to change the dismissal mode, if your child has a 4pm ASA to attend on the same day, or you need to pick your child up via private car at 4pm.

Any requests to change your child's mode of dismissal at 4pm should be submitted via the centralised "4pm Change of Transport request system"at least 48 hours in advance.
