Nature's Atelier Community School
Practical Information
Wednesday Afternoons
As the school day finishes at 12:00 pm on Wednesdays, Outside School Hours (OSH) care is available on Wednesday afternoons for families who need it. OSH runs from 12:00 pm through the afternoon - details of times, bookings and providers will be confirmed in your enrolment pack.
Wednesday afternoons are dedicated staff planning, documentation and professional development time. Educators work until 4:30 pm, using this protected time to write learning stories, map projects to curriculum standards, collaborate as a team and engage in ongoing reflective practice - all of which directly benefits the quality of your child's learning.
