Welcome to Year 6! In this guide, you will find essential school information, including guidelines for playground rules, class behavior expectations, and responsibilities for communication. Children are encouraged to manage their learning, present homework neatly, and read daily. We outline the importance of school uniform and responsible use of equipment.
