CCAs
- Sign-up for RP School CCAs opens
The Shire (RP)
We will open this up during recesses starting from Wednesday, which the children will be very happy about! However, with the aim of avoiding a huge rush, we only wish to have one year level playing on it at any one given time. Please note the following measures:
- Morning/Afternoon recess – please can the Y1-2 and Y3-4 team leaders work out a rotation system. Eg Y1 morning recess, Y2 afternoon recess,…or equivalent – YL, please decide between you.
- Lunch recess – This will be fully open, as only one year level is outside at any given time.
For duty teachers, please be very vigilant. We can reflect on these arrangements at the end of this week, and make changes if necessary. Please see a CLT member for any immediate concerns.
