Wednesday-Friday)
8:05 am to 3:30 pm (Tuesday)
Attendance in the Kindergarten and Junior School will be taken at 8:20 am and 8:30 am. Attendance
will be taken in Middle and High School homerooms at 8:20 am. Any student failing to be in their
homerooms by the above times will be considered tardy. When a student arrives in school after 8:30
am, each period that she is absent is calculated as 0.125 (rounded to 0.13) of a whole day. The same
applies to a student who leaves school before 3:30 pm or is absent for some time during the day.
Kindergarten and Junior School students who are late should report to the Junior School office to
collect an “I’m here” slip, which is taken to the homeroom teacher.
Any Middle or High School student coming to school after 8:20 am is required to sign in at the Lodge
(HS) or MS School Shop (MS) and pick up a late slip to be filled in appropriately, signed by the class
teacher and given to the Principal as soon as possible after the class.
High School students who are tardy or late three times in a month will have detention.
For continued lateness and absence, measures will be taken on an individual basis by the Principal.
If a student is late because of a public transportation problem, and has written acknowledgment of

l
l
the situation from the transportation authorities, the lateness will not be counted as far as a perfect
attendance record is concerned.
l To be absent from school without parental or school permission is a major infringement of school
rules.
Before School
l Parents take their children to the Kindergarten teacher at 8:20 am.
l Junior School students should not arrive before 8:00 am, as there is no supervision before that time.
l Middle School students should not arrive before 7:45 am.
l High School students should not arrive before 7:30 am.
After School
l Playground supervision is not provided once the Kindergarten and Junior School children are released
from school, therefore, adult supervision must be provided.
l Middle and High School students may not stay at school after 4:00 pm without permission from the
Principal or a faculty member, or unless they are using the library facilities or are involved in team
sports.
l Students may not come to school on Saturdays, Sundays, or national holidays unless participating in
an organised school activity.
Leaving School
l Teachers will take kindergarten children who are collected by car to the chain in the driveway if they
have registered for chain dismissal. All other Kindergarten students should be picked up in the
Kindergarten classrooms by parents or other responsible authorized adults. Kindergarten children
