School Times
Our Lady Help of Christians School provides a 27.5-hour teaching week, which is 2.5 hours longer than State Schools. These extra hours allow us to integrate and develop Faith and Religious Education without detracting time from other Learning Areas.

Arrivals
It is important children are punctual for the commencement of school. Children who are late require a note of explanation. Classroom rolls are taken at 8.15am. Children arriving at school after 8.15am are required to report to the office before continuing to class. Continuous interruptions by latecomers lose valuable teaching time. If your child arrives after 8:15am, they will be noted as a late arrival (L) in the roll.
Departures
Parents who collect students each afternoon (or students walking or riding home alone) are asked to ensure school grounds are vacated soon after dismissal time.
Attendance
Regular attendance is compulsory by law and is necessary if pupils are to gain the greatest possible benefit from school activities.
Absentees
When a pupil is absent from school, parents are required to contact the school via the MyCE App, email or pone call, explaining the absence. A note is also required if a child cannot participate in the school’s program, e. g. sports, physical education, etc.
Leaving School Grounds
Children are not permitted to leave school grounds during the school day. Parents must report to the office to collect a child early from school. Children are called to meet their parents at the office.
