Dear Parents and Guardians

Annual Contact and Conditions for students and parents/guardians

The School reserves the right to impose a temporary or long-term ban on driving to school if the prescribed conditions are not met. Parent support in such action is expected.

Overseas fee-paying students must see Mr Tappenden regarding the ownership and driving of a vehicle.

In cases where there are complaints of dangerous driving or driving beyond license conditions then parents will be informed and the matter is likely to be referred to the police.
