At Arcadia Public School we have an exceptional team of highly skilled professional teachers, who provide each child with teaching that is purposeful, challenging and responds to their individual interests and talents. Subjects are brought to life by our teachers’ creativity, knowledge, and enthusiasm which inspire students to explore their individual interests and reach their full potential.
Our teaching team are committed to guiding and nurturing your child, understanding and developing them into happy, confident and successful children. This will always remain our priority at Arcadia Public School.
We remain at the forefront of innovative teaching practice through a comprehensive program of professional development and training. This results in outstanding teaching in all classrooms where a dynamic learning environment challenges our students to achieve and provides them with the best possible start in their academic future.
Our highly experienced teachers get the best out of every child.
A Day at Arcadia - Bell Times
Students are permitted on school grounds and are supervised, by a teacher on duty, from 9am. Bell times are as follows:
- 9:30am - First Bell
- 9:30am to 11:30am - First Session
- 11:30am to 12pm - Recess
- 12pm - 12:35pm - Scripture (Wednesday only)
- 12pm to 1:45pm - Middle Session
- 1:45pm to 2:30pm Lunch
- 2:30pm to 3:30pm Last Session
As a component of our healthy living ethos the students bring a small piece of fruit or vegetable to eat during the first morning session - munch and crunch.
Lunch begins at 1:45pm with the children excused to play at 1:55pm if they have finished eating. Play concludes at 2:30pm with the bell signalling to the children that they must go to the toilet and have a drink.
Our school day concludes at 3:30pm. Students travelling by bus are supervised as they wait in the bus area. Hills Bus is the bus company operating at Arcadia.
