Field Trips

These are an extension of classroom learning and often allow children to experience, in a hands on fashion, what they see in the textbooks. The school requires a consent slip signed by the parent or legal guardian to authorize their child’s/ward’s participation in these events.

Any student whose behaviour is considered detrimental to the wellbeing of other students or the wellbeing of the school will be barred from participating by the principal.

Special Events

Parents will be advised of these from time to time and full support and participation is expected from all in these areas.

Parents and guardians are being advised that after assessment of each student’s performance at the end of a school year, the school reserves the right to determine that the child will not be allowed to move on to the next grade. This is done solely on the basis that the student has not yet grasped the principles on which to build at the subsequent level.

Lannaman’s Preparatory School will invite the respective parents and guardians to participate in discussions on the matter but equally invite them to participate in the ongoing performance of their child/ward to mitigate these occurrences.
