CLASS ROLLS
Student attendance is marked twice daily, during the first lesson and after the afternoon recess (after lunch Wednesdays only). If you are timetabled for these lessons take the roll with you to class.

Collect the roll from the staffroom foyer outside the staffroom door. Mark the roll with an “A” for any absent students. Send the roll to the office with a student. Late students should not be admitted without a yellow late note from the office. School Support Staff will make corrections to rolls for those students who arrive after roll has been sent up to the office.
Students known to be present at school but absent from lessons should be reported to the Discipline Co-ordinator, Mr Orr, or Head Teacher.


READING
The school operates a "DROP EVERYTHING AND READ" (DEAR) scheme for 2O minutes every day. The students are divided into groups of 10 -12 with one teacher. Both students and teacher are expected to engage in reading at this time. Some special remedial literacy groups and a numeracy group also operate during DEAR time.

Students may read any material in any language. They are not permitted to change library books during reading time; this should be done during normal library lessons, at morning recess or lunchtime. They are also not expected to use the toilets at this time.

PLAYGROUND DUTIES
The Playground Duty Roster is printed on the bottom of the timetable.
Please note the school rules below before undertaking playground supervision.

A clip board for teachers on duty is located hanging inside the staff room door. Use it to note any students in breach of school rules. Two teachers are rostered for morning recess and lunch, each to patrol either the canteen/top oval and upper area of the school or the bottom area of the playground, along to the office.

One teacher only is on duty for the short afternoon recess. The upper area school oval and canteen are out-of-bounds during this time.
