CO-OPERATION

We would like to ask for your co-operation regarding the following issue.  There are far too many unnecessary interruptions during school hours.  Pupils are being called to the office to collect trivial items like lunch, tog bags, projects and books which have been left at home or in the car.  We request that you please make Doctor’s appointments after school hours.   You will be sent away!  If a child is absent for a test or exams, they will get a zero it there is no doctor’s letter.
