The  P3 parking restriction operates between 8.30 am to 9.30 am in the morning and again in the afternoon from 2.30pm to 3.30 pm.  Outside these times the P3 zone will be unrestricted. 

The purpose of the P3 Zone is for parents to drop off or pick up waiting children and then move on again. This will create a safer and more efficient morning drop off and afternoon pick up. 

It would be a good idea to arrive at the P3 just after 3pm in time for your children to be at the gate waiting. You may need to go around the Waimakariri Road/Watsons Road block until your children are ready to be picked up. 

It will also work better if you drive up as far as you can in this area. DO NOT park on the yellow lines as you are likely to receive a parking infringement notice.

Please don't do U Turns from the park in front of the road patrol rather turn into Waimakariri Road or go around the roundabout.

If you want to leave your vehicle, talk to friends or come into school please do not park on the P3 zone.

The Christchurch City Council encourage your children to get in and out of the car on the footpath side, not on the road side.

Families walking into and out of school must use the footpath, not the driveway please. There are vehicles using the driveway at times making it unsafe. Please also take care when walking across the driveway entrance when leaving school and ensure your children are reminded to look before crossing the driveway.
