Transportation
As students will be attending from many different primary schools.  Parents and Carers are to make independent arrangements for students' transportation to and from Belridge Secondary College.  

Dress

Recess and Lunch
Students are to bring their own packed recess and lunch.  Recess and lunch will be fully supervised by staff.  Students will NOT have the opportunity to purchase food from the cafe. 

Student Guides
Each group will be under the direction of Year 9 Student Guides, to help find the timetabled rooms and to keep each group on time. 

Timetable
The timetable for the Year 6 students is different from the normal school times. This is so that recess and lunch do not coincide. Normal period times are 62 minutes.  The Year 6's for this day will be on a 30 minute period timetable. 

Departure Time
At 2.30pm each group will meet back in the gymnasium for a final talk and will be dismissed by 2.45pm. Normal school closing time is 3.05pm.  To assist with traffic congestion, we would appreciate it if all Year 6 students were collected from the school grounds before 3.00pm.
