Road & Carpark Safety

Tony Grey —

Now that our school roll has doubled, we are noticing some carpark congestion, particularly at pick-up time and on wet days. Here are some suggestions to avoid any frustrations and to ensure we keep all of our kids safe.

Please use the road patrol crossing and also take extra care in the carpark, especially as you exit. 

While we strongly encourage active transport options like walking, biking and scootering we understand that some parents need to occasionally use their cars for school drop off and pick up.

If you need to bring the car, there are lots of parking bays around Hare Puke Park and a path running through the park. The areas marked in yellow are carparks providing very easy access for students, and also means you won’t get stuck in the congestion of the drop-off/pickup bay.

We would appreciate you taking the time to come up with a transport plan with your children.

Our drive way is a Pick-Up and Drop-Off only, which means that from 8:00-9:00am and 2:00-3:00pm there should be no cars left unattended in this zone.

In the afternoons, it is designed to be a flowing driveway 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.

We welcome you to come into the school grounds, but if you are please use the onroad parking options around the school and walk in.

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