FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

For students in Years 1-13 | Monday 21 August

1. On your first day of school, please arrive a bit earlier around than usual (around 7.15 am) and go to our New Families registration booth in front of the Kopse area (coffee shop) near the clocktower.

2. After registration at the New Families booth:

• Upper School: students will be grouped according to their house and collected and guided to their tutor rooms by our academic team or fellow students.

• Years 1-2: parents and students can go to the Infant Yard where the form teachers will guide you to your child’s form rooms.

• Years 3-5: parents and students can go to the Manta Ray area (blue shaded area in front of the Pre Prep School) where your child’s form teacher will be waiting.

• Boarding students: your Boarding buddy will drop you off at the New Families booth at the table indicated with your house colour on it. Please wait there for our team to pick you up and show the way to your classroom.

If your child is starting in Early Years, please follow the instructions and details provided by our Early Years team on your child’s starting time and date.
