Approaching our School

From time to time parents or other members of the school community may need to approach the school in order to:

  • discuss the progress or welfare of own child;
  • enquire about school policy or practice and
  • enquire about other issues.

It is therefore necessary to have procedures that will enhance a safe and harmonious school environment. The best results usually flow from working together.
