Goldilocks arrivals: not too early, not too late, just right

Ettalong Public School is expecting its students to have the judgement of Goldilocks.

It is asking them not to arrive too early, not to arrive too late, but to get their timing just right.

Students and parents have been told that students should not arrive before 8:30am and not after 8:50am.

"We have a large number of children who are arriving at school between 7:50am and 8:30am," said acting deputy principal Ms Jane Crawford.

"During this time teachers are busy preparing for class and attending meetings.

"Supervision does not commence until 8:30am.

"The YMCA provides before school care and can be contacted on 1300 009 679 or childcare@ymcansw.org.au."

On the other hand, she said: "Classes commence at 8:55am.

"Traffic is at its peak from 8:40am to 9am, so please allow plenty of time.

"Please aim to have children here by 8:50am."

Ms Crawford said arriving at school and class on time was "extremely important".

"It ensures that students do not miss out on important learning activities scheduled early in the day," she said.

"It helps students learn the importance of punctuality and routine.

"It gives students time to greet their friends before class.

"It reduces classroom disruption.

"Lateness is recorded as a partial absence and must be explained by parents."
