Please remember that our driveway is a Pick-Up and Drop-Off only, which means that from 8:00-9:00am and 2:00-2.45pm there should be no cars left unattended in this zone.

There is also a disability park in front of Hamilton North School which we have noticed families are using as a drop-off for students. There should be no vehicles stopping in this park at any time.

Hamilton North School have students with physical disabilities & they need this park available at all times. Note: there are also three disability parks in our main carpark for vehicles displaying a mobility parking permit.

We welcome you to come into the school grounds, but if you are, please use the on-road parking options around the school and walk in. If you need to bring the car, there are lots of parking bays around Hare Puke Park and a path running through the park to Meadowfield Drive.

The carparks along Borman Road and Meadowfield provide very easy access for students to walk to your car, and also means you won’t get stuck in the congestion of the main drop-off/pickup bay.

In the afternoons, our driveway is designed to be flowing where you swing in, pick up your waiting child, and go. This system works best when you arrive just after school finishes, so your child will already be outside waiting. If you are early and you cannot see your child straight away this causes the driveway to block up. Please do a lap around the block and try again.

Hare Puke Reserve Carpark ("Kererū Gate")

Parents collecting Kererū students are encouraged to use this area, but other parents are also able to park here and walk into school through the side gate.

If parking on the school side of the parks, please get out of your car and come in and collect your child(ren) or wait at the exit gate. We do not want our children walking through the planted ditch or through the carpark as this is unsafe. Parents are encouraged to use the many parks on the reserve side of the park, as that enables children to use the footpath, which is much safer.

Thank you for working with us to keep your children safe.
