Class Gatherings are beloved traditions. While formerly these would have been pot-luck style breakfasts, this year we are restricting what food will be shared during Class Gatherings (hence the name change). The aim of this change is to ensure that any food items served are safe for all the children in the school, not just the children in a specific cohort, protecting the health and safety of any siblings attending the event. 

Please refer to the School Safe Foods list for Class Gatherings. This list will be updated each year when all the health and dietary information has been collected for the children currently attending the school. The list will consist of allergen free snack items that may be purchased for class events (e.g. product brands such as Made Good, School Safe etc), fruits, coffee, tea. You can find the most updated list of foods that are allowed on this page.

Homemade or home baked items are not permitted at Class Gatherings. 

Other details to note for Class Gatherings: 

• Class Gatherings usually start a little earlier than our usual school day begins, so parents and children alike can enjoy some time together and then move on to the rest of their day’s activities.  

• Siblings are required to return to their classrooms by 8:45am so as not to be marked as absent or late for their learning time.  

• Please send your proposed date for a Class Gathering to Richard and Chriss in advance.  

• As with all events at school, hosts of Class Gatherings are asked to follow the JICS Green Events Guidelines (found in the Parent Handbook) to minimize waste.
