All parents should wait under the front covered porch to collect their children. It is essential that teachers are made aware of the person who has authority to collect each child.

10. Children are prohibited from bringing into school any sweets, nuts or chewing gum, or drinks, etc. in glass containers. Thank you for your co-operation.

12. Jewellery and Watches:
Please note that for Health and Safety reasons, the wearing of jewellery is not allowed.
Any pupil with pierced ears should wear studs at school, also for safety reasons.
Studs should be covered or removed for any sporting activity.
Pupils from Classes 2 to 6 are allowed to wear watches so that they can be more independent and learn to tell the time. They should be inexpensive for school.

13. Hair must always be tied back with suitable fastenings in school colours.

14. Mobile Phones are not permitted in School or on out of school visits as they are perceived to be inappropriate for pupils of Primary age.
