Parking Safe
May 15, 2019
Over recent years, we have carefully developed the parking and drive-through arrangements for parents who transport their students to school by car, so that all students, parents and staff are safe at all times.
We would like to remind parents of the need to consider others and the safety of the children when driving and parking around the school.
Parents are reminded that:
The Staff/Visitor Car park is not to be used for student drop off/pick up. Please use the Kiss and Drive facility for this purpose.
The school bus bay must be kept free for bus access.
The Kiss and Drive facility is supervised and offers a very smooth pick-up option after school. Parents are asked to consider using this facility rather than parking.
Our objective is to make every morning drop off and afternoon collection safe and stress-free for everyone.
