Parent Drop Off & Pick Up
Many students arrive by car and get dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon. The school turning circle on Whitehaven Street offers the most manageable drop-off and pick-up options. Parents with students in Reception or younger may also utilize the garage. Please refer to the parent handbook for policies and procedures regarding safe drop-off and pick-up.

Students may arrive any time after 8 a.m. The school day begins at 8:20 a.m. for Secondary School and 8:30 a.m. for Primary School.
