A School Day at Green Square Public School

Our school day is structured around a clear timetable. We have set times for learning sessions, activities and lunch. Understanding the bell times helps students get the most out of each part of the day.

It's important for students to arrive on time each day. If your child is running late, please contact our front office.

The importance of regular attendance

It is essential that your child attends school every day on time, unless they are unwell or there are extenuating family circumstances. If your child will be absent please contact the office or submit the absence notification on School Bytes.

Families are asked to schedule appointments outside school hours where possible to minimise disruption to learning time.

Holidays - families are asked not to schedule holidays during school terms. While there is a process for applying for leave during school terms, this will only be approved under extenuating circumstances.

If you have questions about our school day or your child's attendance, please contact us.
