Homework is supervised at the Aftercare Centre. It remains a parental responsibility and parents are to check and sign the Diary daily. Any homework not completed at the Centre needs to be done at home.
Lunch
A balanced cooked lunch is provided daily and fun lunches are provided on Fridays. Juice and biscuits are provided at mid-afternoon, daily. It is recommended for those children who will be staying after 16h00, that they bring along an extra snack/fruit to sustain them.
Extra-Murals
Please advise via the Diary, each term, which extra-murals your child will be doing at school and please send the appropriate attire. The pupils will be escorted to and from the venue for school extra-murals. Children are expected to report to the Centre before going to matches or extra-murals, so that they can be accounted for and also so that they can be given lunch.
Uniform
Students are to wear school uniform during school hours and appropriate civilian clothing at the Aftercare Centre.
Staffing
The staff:pupil ratio is 1:12 in the homework supervision class and on the playground.
