What are the expectations around stationery for the children?
All the stationery needs for children in Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 are provided in school. Students in Year 4, 5 and 6 have to bring their own stationery.
Do the children get toilet breaks?
The children are allowed to go to the toilet when they want to although they are encouraged to go to the toilet at break times. The teachers usually run a system that the children become familiar with. All children need to be fully toilet trained and be able to manage themselves before starting Year 1.
When are the breaks for the children?
The school has two break times where the students will get their snack and enjoy a well-being break.

The communication systems at QBS are very thorough. Most parents can find the relevant information they need through the website or by reading the weekly newsletter on the App. To contact the class teacher, parents can use email, although teachers will only respond to these at the end of a school day. Parents can also send messages in the children’s diaries.
