Primary 1 children finish morning school slightly earlier, to allow them more time to cope with school dinners and packed lunches and to provide them with the additional help which they need.
There is a mid morning break 10.30 - 10.45 am and in fine weather children are able to enjoy a brief playtime in their respective playgrounds.
Please note that children are not permitted into school grounds before 8.45 am since we cannot guarantee supervision prior to this time. Morning classes begin at 8.55 am and children are encouraged to be punctual. On wet mornings of course children may go directly to their classrooms, but again preferably not before 8.45 am since there will be no supervision before the teacher arrives.
