Please note the following parking restrictions at our school gateways:

Cotswold Avenue

A three-minute parking limit has been placed on all parking spaces directly outside the school gateway – from the school gateway to the school driveway entrance during the following periods:

• 8.15am – 9.15am
  
• 2.30pm – 3.15pm
  

This has been done to establish a drop-off zone outside our school gate for parents who would like to drop their children off without entering the school grounds.

Martbern Crescent

A no parking area has been established directly outside our school entrance on both sides of Martbern Crescent. This restriction is for the following periods:

• 8.15am – 9.15am
  
• 2.30pm – 3.15pm
  

This has been done to provide a clear view for students and parents crossing Martbern Crescent outside our school gateway. Student safety is paramount.

Private Driveways

We receive a number of complaints each term from local residents regarding the behaviour of parents dropping off and picking up students. Residents have been instructed to record registration numbers and pass these to the Police for prosecution. Section 16 of the New Zealand Road Code includes the following statements:You must not stop, or park a vehicle:

• Where it will be in the way of other people using the road
  
• Near a corner, bend, hill, traffic island or intersection if it will stop other people from seeing the road.
  
• On any footpath
  
• On, or closer than 6 metres to, an intersection – except where there are parking spaces or a notice telling you that you can park there.
  
• On or closer than 6 metres to, the approach side of a pedestrian crossing.
  
• In front of a vehicle entrance – or closer than 1 metre to a vehicle entrance.
  
• Next to another parked vehicle (‘double-parked’).
  
• Where there are yellow “no stopping” lines.
  

Please ensure you do not block residents driveway access points.
