Preparing For School

Jewellery Policy: Children are asked not to wear items of jewellery, which could potentially put them or other children in danger of getting injured or of picking up infections. Children who already have their ears pierced are allowed to wear stud style earrings but not drop earrings. However, under no circumstances are children allowed to have any other exposed area of their bodies pierced, for health and safety reasons. A child who arrives at school wearing jewellery, other than stud earrings and watches will be asked to remove them and place them in their bags.

Mobile Phone & Use Of School Phone: In the event that a mobile phone is required for after school activities, the student must ensure it is turned off and in their schoolbags at all times. Phones may be confiscated by staff and returned to parents/guardians. Children who urgently need to contact their parents are welcome to use the school phone, with the permission of the Principal.

As part of Health Education, we engage in health-promotion programmes such as Food Dudes which encourage the children to eat a healthy lunch, for example, sandwiches, fruit, yoghurt and drinks low in sugar.

To assist with keeping children and the school clean during the average day crisps, chocolate bars and very flaky food are not allowed in the school except on special occasions. It would be beneficial and helpful if treats such as bars, sweets, etc. could be limited to special occasions. As part of the Schools Milk programme, cartons of milk are available for purchase in the school on a termly basis.
