School Rules

| Morning | Recess & Lunch | General | Playground |

The care of children is a most important concern for any school. At Leonay Primary School we aim to treat all children with respect and care and it is hoped that children will respond in a like manner. The school recognises the importance of communication and co-operation between teachers and parents in assisting children in their development. We seek parents' co-operation in encouraging children to obey the rules set down at the school. They have been established for the welfare and safety of the students and to assist in the smooth running of the school.
