Rest where you can, hydrate, and take your break. Looking after yourself helps you look after your class.

Neat Hallways, Safe Spaces

Following our recent visit from the Ministry of Education, a concern was raised regarding hallway neatness, particularly bags not being placed on hooks. Going forward, this needs to be a clear priority across all classes so that we address this consistently.

Please ensure that:

  • School bags are placed on the hooks provided

  • Lunch bags are hung securely on hooks or taken inside the classroom

  • No bags, books, or jackets are left on the floor during lessons or transitions

A tidy hallway prevents trip hazards and allows students to move freely, especially during emergencies.

We also encourage each class to appoint a Hallway Monitor to support quick checks during transitions and after break times. This simple routine helps reinforce responsibility and our back to basics approach to respect and care for our shared spaces.
