[Audio] Our punctuality to school and to lessons is important. If you arrive to school after 8 thirty you will need to sign in at the gate and again at pupil services. Students arriving late to school will be issued a detention. Teachers will dismiss you at the end of lessons when the school bell sounds, you are expected to move quickly to your next lesson, not stopping to meet with friends, you are expected to arrive at your next lesson before the second bell. At the end of break and lunch you should move promptly to you next lesson just before or as the first bell rings, by the time of the second bell you should be in your lesson. Teachers will set detentions for lateness, and persistent lateness will receive further sanctions and communications home..

[Audio] Repeated lateness soon adds up, it results in lost learning time for you and disruption to your classmates. Being late a few minutes every lesson adds up to 25 minutes in a day, 125 minutes or two hours in a week, across a whole school year being 5 minutes late adds up to 79 hours of lost learning, that's the equivalent to missing three weeks of school..

[Audio] We begin our lessons with daily review, this is an important component of learning. It helps strengthen the connections of the material already learnt and prepares you for building new learning. If you are late to lessons, this important phase of learning is missed, making new learning more difficult..
