  • The courtyard will be shut for recesses for Y3 on Wed, Thu and Fri (Hayes-please ensure it is locked at these times).

RP School Photos

School photos will take place today for Years 2 & 4 as well as Whole Staff photos

 

A reminder of the following points:

  • Photos take place in the ECE Library
  • Both class photos and individual portraits will be taken for ALL students.
  • Please be on time – schedule is tight
  • Bring your students in order of the register (alphabetical) as this will make the process quicker
  • Class teachers to have their photo taken at the same time as their class

Staff Photos

  • The staff group photos will take place today. The ECE photo will take place at 3.45pm, and the Primary Photo will take place straight afterwards at 3.55pm on the steps near the Parent Room. Please note that all teachers need to attend this photo-shoot and should be dressed professionally.
  • Specialists/EAL/LS should go to the photo venue (ECE Library) at some point during their prep time. It is very important that every staff member has their individual photograph taken, as we will use them for the Year Book.

 

Please see the schedule below:

Student Council Meetings
