We wish to advise all drivers that the front of the school is being monitored by the Tauranga City Council Traffic Wardens and infringement notices/tickets are being issued. Monitoring is by CCTV cameras located on light poles and infringement notices are sent by mail.

Please remember to practise safe parking behaviour, obey the road rules, and choose safety over convenience. 

A reminder:

• No parking on footpaths.
• No stopping or parking on yellow lines.
• Do not enter the school driveway to pick up or drop off children.
• No double parking alongside other vehicles to pick up drop of children.
• Park safely. Parking on grass verges can make it difficult for children to see and be seen.
• Pre-plan a meeting place with your children away from school to help reduce congestion. The best place is to park at Carlton Reserve which is a short stride to the school where you can meet your child.
• Please do not stop on the pedestrian crossings to let your child in/out of a vehicle.
• Bike, walk, scooter to school to help reduce congestion, be fit and healthy.
• Use the designated safe school crossings in Ngatai Road and Charles Street, even if you need to walk a little further.

The Ōtūmoetai Intermediate School area will also be visited regularly by Travel Safe and TCC Parking to help maintain safety for all children using the area.
