Assembly/Lunchtime/ Recess

Assemblies

School assemblies are held in the hall most weeks. These assemblies are the main arena for regularly celebrating student achievement. Awards are distributed and student work shared. There is usually also time for a song or performance of some kind. Our Primary assemblies are hosted by our Student Council and our Infants assemblies are hosted by Year 2 students. Parents and friends of the school are welcome.

The Infants Assembly is held in the hall weekly on Fridays at 11:50am.

The Primary Assembly is held in the hall on fortnightly on Fridays at 12:30pm.

Morning Assembly

Students assemble in the COLA during the warmer months and in the top quadrangle during the cooler months; where they are welcomed and any news is shared. On wet days, students move straight to class instead of assembly.

Lunch

Students are supervised by a teacher whilst eating their lunch. All food is eaten in designated areas. Students remain there until the area is clean and tidy and the teacher allows them to play. They may proceed to the canteen at this time. 

Recess

Students move to the playground and sit in a designated area to eat morning tea. Supervising teacher then allows students to play. Canteen orders should be collected from the canteen.

All students should be provided with a nutritious lunch. Our school canteen operates Tuesday- Friday and a price list is available on this website or through the canteen's 'Fexischools' App. Any student who does not have lunch should tell their class teacher. A basic lunch will be provided and a note sent home with details of how much is owing. It would be appreciated if this could be paid the next day to the office.

Supervision before school

There is no formal supervision before 8:45am. The Solitary Island Way crossing flags are put in place each morning at 8:30am. Children who arrive before 8:45am should remain adjacent to the Canteen/Library/Office where they are to sit and play quiet games or read a book. At the 8:45am bell students should place their bags outside their classroom and may then play where instructed to by the teacher. Lunch orders should be put in the white box outside the canteen. 

Supervision at lunchtime

.A teacher supervisors the buildings and canteen area. Two canteen lines operate. One for Infants and one for Primary.

The second half of Recess is designated for play and students may use the buildings area, COLA, South Oval or the Library where teachers are rostered on supervision duty. Students may choose to go into the Library (Monday to Thursday) for calm, recreational activities or to the Computer room (Monday, Tuesday or Thursday).

After school

A teacher is rostered on to supervise bus lines and another escorts students across the Solitary Island Way Crossing. Students who are being picked up by parents/guardians wait in the designated area near the Cola. Parents are to collect children from this area and are asked not to stay in their cars or call students across the road.
