TRAFFIC SAFETY

How long until we have a fatality at the front of our Kura? Do these photos look safe to you?

We are still really struggling with ensuring the front of our school is safe at pick up time. We have parents who are so intent on picking up their aakonga directly in front of the school that we see the worst of driving skills, which presents such danger to our students.
We beg of you please do not:

  • Park on yellow lines
  • Double park
  • Do u-turns in front of the school in front of streams of traffic
  • Drive over the pedestrian crossing when the lights are orange or red
  • Park in the Master’s House carpark
  • Turn in to the staff car park to pick up students
  • Drive into the Carrington gate entrance and put the children at the daycare at risk

You COULD collect your student from Morris Road or Carrington Ave as an example.

We are grateful to the Hamilton City Council who will be out patrolling the areas and issuing infringement notices to those who are putting our students at risk.
