School Times

• The drop off point at reception will be open from 6:15 in the morning. The other two gates will open at 7:00 with adult supervision available at each point.
• Our formal school program starts at 7:30 for Grade 1 to 9 and 8:00 for our Pre-School PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR CHILD ARRIVES ON TIME TO BE SCREENED BEFORE THE STARTING TIME AND START THE FIRST LESSON.
• No parking is allowed at the reception area during peak hours to ensure the smooth flow of traffic.
• During the school day, our gates remain closed and the only entrance to the premises will be via our security guards through reception. Our guards sign in each individual visitor or guest onto the property.  No visitors may enter the school grounds without confirmation of identity and signing in. Visitors are not allowed onto the premises if the validity of their reason for the visit could not be confirmed. Parents are only allowed to visit teachers upon appointment.
• In the past all learners were collected inside the school grounds by either their transport provider or parent. However, due to the high volume of traffic in a small space we opened an additional gate at Foundation Phase for the collection of learners and exit of pedestrians. With the building of the Secondary School we will have an additional gate available on the Secondary School side soon.

Our dismissal procedures have been redesigned with learner safety at the centre of our procedures. Parents must please familiarise themselves with the procedures and support with compliance in the best interest of our learners.

• Each parent and registered transport provider will receive a Motheong sticker with this letter. Please place it visible in their window (On the driver’s side if possible) as an additional security measure when entering the premises or collecting learners.
• All families will receive the names of the children on a card with this letter. We used information provided by parents to group the learners together.
• Parents and transport providers should display this card on the vehicle dashboard upon arrival at PEPPS Motheong.
• Learners will only be called to the gate at the Foundation Phase when a card is presented. Any person seeking to fetch a child without this card must do so through reception where the staff will verify their ID and consent from the parent before dismissal can be approved.
• Inside the premises there will be regular spot checks.
• Pre-School will continue with sign out as we are doing now until their additional process is communicated.
