K – Y6 CARLINES
Thank you to our many parents who cooperate so wonderfully to assist the carline to run as smoothly as possible. As Co-Curricular activities and training commence next week, we should start to see the carline move into a smoother rhythm.

A few reminders for our parents as we settle into these routines:

There is ONE key change to K-Y2 collection times on a Wednesday. We have moved Assembly/Chapel to the last part of the school day rather than straight after lunch, so attending parents can take their sons home at the conclusion of the Assembly/Chapel.

If you need to collect your child in the carline, please arrive at the indicated time for his year group and not before:

  • For Kindergarten, please arrive at 2.50pm, except on Wednesdays when you should arrive at 3.10pm.
  • For Y1 and Y2, please arrive after 3.00pm, as students are still in class until 3pm, except on Wednesdays when you should arrive at 3.10pm.
  • For Y3 and Y4, please arrive after 3.20pm.
  • For Y5 and Y6, please arrive at 3.30pm.

For the afternoon carline

  • Please go to the numbered umbrellas to collect your son – follow the staff’s direction, if not sure.
  • Please make sure your son can do up his own seatbelt asap. This is particularly important for our Kindergarten students.
  • Please display your son’s name card on entry to the internal drive.
  • Please display the card on the sun visor flap – placing it on the dashboard makes it very difficult to see.

For the second carline after co-curricular activities

  • Please follow the directions of our staff, including our security guards, when asked to move on.

K – Y6 HOW TO ORDER LUNCH FROM THE CANTEEN
Our canteen provider is Chartwells. Cranbrook is a cashless school, so all lunch orders are made through My Student Account (MSA).

There are no over the counter orders or sales. If you have not done so already, please create an account. You will then be able to order your son’s lunch online here. After you log in, select ‘Online Orders’ under ‘Online Ordering’, then select your child’s account and click the blue ‘Create New Order’ button. Then choose the relevant menu and start ordering. 

K – Y6 BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CARE 
To assist our families with work commitments or other needs and to allow staff to prepare adequately for the teaching day, TheirCare operate before and after-school care onsite for any K-Y6 Cranbrook student.

We ask all Junior School families to enrol their sons with our before and after school care provider, so that they can attend TheirCare for any early drop-offs required or in the case of an emergency after school. Enrolment takes 10-15 minutes online and costs nothing. Any student who arrives before 7:45am (and who is not enrolled in a co-curricular activity) will be taken to before-school care, so they can be safely supervised. Similarly, boys who are not collected on time in the afternoons will be required to attend TheirCare’s after school programme.
