For the safety of our students, teachers and parents who use the school’s ‘Drop-off and Pick-up Zone’, I ask you to take note of the following:-
- For everyone’s safety, the speed limit in the car park is 5 km/hr.
- Drivers should remain in their vehicles at all times in the ‘Drop-off and Pick-up Zone’
- The school’s Drop-off and Pick-up Zone is only a 2 minute parking spot. Any longer than this and you are likely to be asked by a staff member to move on and re-enter the Pick-up queue. Please be aware that the purpose of this zone is purely to: “Stop – Drop – Go”. Make sure your child has their bag ready so that they can get out of the car quickly. Stopping to get bags out of the boot, put jackets on and etc., slows the traffic down and adds to congestion.
- Children are only to get in or out of the car when you pull up alongside one of the 3 designated ‘Drop-off / Pick-up’ bays.
- Children are to get in or out of the car on the pavement side only.
- Please do not queue jump if there are free drop-off bays.
Please note that there is a “No Right Turn” sign as you exit the main car park. This applies between the hours of 8am – 9am and 2:30pm – 3:30pm. There is also a new ‘ No Right Turn“ sign at the end of Ackama Street. Please be aware of the safety of everyone around you, and the precious cargo you have in your car at these times.
Please pass this information on to all who are responsible for the dropping off and/or collection of your children. The parking regulations around the school are enforceable and if drivers choose to do the wrong thing, then they could be fined by the Police, who regularly do blitzes in our area.
Thank you to all of our students and drivers who always do the right thing and set a safe and courteous example to others.
