This week in Chapel, students will reflect on our memory verse is from Galatians 3:26: “You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”

We are reminded that God’s family includes everyone who believes — no one is left out and no one is forgotten. We all have a place where we belong. When we are kind, include others, forgive, and work together, we help make our school feel like a family, too.

What could this look like at home?

• Notice and name strengths – Talk about the different gifts each family member brings.

• Work as a team – Share responsibilities and highlight how teamwork helps everyone.

• Practise kindness and forgiveness – Encourage respectful words, listening well and saying sorry when needed.

• Create space for belonging – Make time for each person to share about their day.

• Pray together – Thank God that we belong to His family and ask Him to help your home be a place of love and care.

Together, we can help children see that belonging isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we live.

Everyone is welcome to join us for Primary Chapel at 8:55am on Friday! See you then!

Afternoon Pick-Up Procedures and Designated Areas

We would like to reinforce the importance of all students going to their designated pick-up area each afternoon — even if they are being collected after 3:15 pm. This ensures students are adequately supervised and accounted for at all times.

Having students in their allocated zones also helps us manage traffic flow, reduce congestion, and maintain safe supervision practices across the College.

Please ensure you are collecting your children from the designated pick-up zone allocated to your family. Families are assigned a zone based on the year level of the youngest student. Details are outlined below:

• Blue Pick Up – Families with a Prep student: all students are collected in the Blue (Prep) pick-up zone.
• Orange Pick Up – Families whose youngest student is in Years 1–3: all students are picked up in the Orange zone on the ring road at D Block.
  • Important: For the Year 1–3 Orange pick-up area, please stop at the boom gate upon arrival. The gate will open at 2:55 pm to commence pick-up.
• Green Pick Up – Families whose youngest student is in Years 4–6: all students picked up in the Green zone outside the Early Learning Centre (straight through the roundabout).
• Yellow Pick Up – Families whose youngest student is in Secondary: all students picked up in the Yellow zone at the bottom of the ring road.

Please refer to the attached drop-off and pick-up map for further clarification.

Thank you for helping us by reminding your children of the appropriate place to wait each afternoon. Your cooperation ensures a safe, smooth, and well-supervised end to the school day for everyone.

If you have any questions regarding afternoon pick-up routines or which zone you are allocated to, please do not hesitate to contact Administration or your child’s classroom teacher.
