Early release of students within school hours
Parent(s) or authorised adult(s) can pick the child up from the General Office only. The adult picking up the child will need to fill up the ‘Record of Students’ Leaving School During School Hours’ at the General Office before the child is allowed to leave the school.
Please note that you will only be allowed to enter via Gate 3 during school hours, after registering your details at the Security Guard Post.
Absence from school during term time
