The school day finishes at 2pm when the children may be collected from the school assembly hall. Children who have not been collected by 2.30pm may be waiting for extra lessons or on late collection.

Attendance
Parents should endeavour to inform the school either by telephone, fax or email before 9.30am if their child is not attending school. If your child is absent from school and it is at all possible please send a note explaining the absence to the class teacher on the child's return.
We will contact you if your child is not in school and we do not have a reason for his/her absence. Parents are advised avoid booking holidays during the school term. Not more than one week of absence may be granted in any calendar year for children accompany parents on family holidays. A form requesting leave of absence must be obtained from the office at least two weeks before the holiday. Back to top

You may see the head teacher if you like your child to be served school meals. A bill is charged for this service. There are two set of meals; mid-break meals which are light snacks, drinks, fruits and after school meals before extra lesson which is a full meal. [Lunch-]
Should you prefer your child to bring a packed lunch, please in the interest of safety do not send food and drinks in breakable containers.
Please inform the school if your child has any food allergies. Children are not allowed to bring sweets to school. Back to top
Late collection
School time is 7.30am to 2.30pm for children who are not in the extra lesson or school club. The school will not take responsibility for any child that is not collected by 2.30pm. Such parents will be surcharged after two chances. For the safety of our children extra hand services are engaged to take care of this sort of circumstance and they will have to be paid for complementing the safety of our children. Back to top
Other activities:
- Extra lessons; interested parents to see head teacher
- After school club; interested parents to see head teacher
- Training/practice; school call [school's responsibility]
- Parents will be informed ahead of time if your child will be waiting for such training and practice. Back to top
Walk Home alone policy
Under our policy, no child will be allowed to leave the school unless accompanied by an adult. Danbo international school is situated in a residential area of Barnawa and as such parents may wish that their child/children walk to school and back alone. For safety regulations such wishes will need to be entered and signed in our consent form, which can be collected from the head teacher. Back to top
Complaints
If parents have complaints about their child they should take the following actions:
- Speak with child's class teacher first and if this is not satisfactory;
- Speak with the head teacher and hopefully any issue which may arise can be sorted out at school but if however parents are still concerned they, may contact
- The school administrator, and if not still satisfied;
The chairman of board of governors or drop a letter in the suggestion box provided for the board of governing directors.
