Dear Parents,

Please note, in order to make the after school activities pick up more efficient we have introduced labelled cones per activity at Gate 5. We ask for you to please line up behind the cone labelled with your child’s activity of choice, the activity provider will then bring the children to the designated area to avoid delay and confusion. We thank you for your cooperation.
