travelchic Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Can anyone tell me roughly what time the primary schools start and finish please. I appreciate that some start at different times to others. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del70 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 When we were in NSW they started and finished the same sort of times as in the UK, i.e. 9ish until 3:30ish. Lunchtime was an hour, and they had 'morning tea' (morning breaktime) like in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arwen Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 My daughters old public primary was 8.40 to 2.50 and her new private is 8.45 to 3.15. It doesn't vary much but some state schools will factor in an early finish on one day, about 2pm usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del70 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 My eldest daughter's High School finished at 2.30 instead of 3.30 on Fridays, but the Primary Schools finished at their usual time. It was a pain, as she caught the school bus, so she used to go with her friends for ice-cream for an hour, then walk back to catch the school bus home!

Guest Bellaleggos Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 My daughters school starts 8.35am, classroom opens 8.20am, but you can drop them in a specified area where they are supervised at 8.10am, finishes at 2.35pm. Good luck finding that job! I drop my son at daycare and my daughter off at school (i managed to find a local job where i start at 9am) and my husband finishes early on those 2 days that I work so he can pick her up a I don't finish until 5.

cind3r3lla Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 With this school timing, any thought on how can a single parent survive in Oz? Kiddo is only 6 1/2 year old when he reach there. Thanks. Your thoughts will be highly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Your thoughts will be highly appreciated. Afterschool care I think....my childrens school starts at 8.45 and finishes at 3.15 the high school at 3.23!!! both schools are on the same site, so its easy to pick them both up even though one is still in junior the other in last year at high school. I have only just realised how different the schools are in finishing times, does make it very hard for parents who need to work and have no family to help with pickups and drop offs. pea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelchic Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm going as a single parent. My mum picks my little one up from school here so I'll be using before and after school care. I have friends in Perth who have children but I don't want to rely on friends all the time. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thoughts will be highly appreciated. All primary schools I know have a number of day care providers who drop off and pick children up in their locality. My children's old primary school had 4 plus an onsite before and after school club. OSH Club run a number of onsite clubs. https://www.oshclub.com.au/oshclub.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
