Collection point changed as parents distract students
Parents being in sight of their Stage 1 students at the end of the school day has "presented challenges" at Woy Woy South Public School.
"Pick up from our classrooms has presented challenges for our teachers," said principal Mr Matt Barr.
"Once parents are in sight outside classrooms, it very hard to hold the attention of students till the end of the school day."
To "maximise classroom teaching time", collection arrangements have been changed.
"It is important that students are paying attention right up until the end of the school day at 2.55pm, and not missing key messages and instructions," he said.
He said students would now assemble at the K-2 Cola at 2.55pm.
"They can be collected from the Cola at this time, or can be released by the classroom teacher to meet you at another designated meeting place, for example a meeting point with an older sibling, a specific school gate or a space in the playground.
