Car Park Safety Considerations

Paul Tyson - February 6, 2025

Health and Safety in and around the car park - please use the pathways and follow our signage.

A huge thank you to whānau who are parking appropriately and respecting car park signage. We really appreciate it. 

Please ensure you are parking in a clearly marked car park (that has solid white lines on either side of your vehicle) and not on or around the edges of the kerb. 

Please do not double park anywhere or park on any grass areas but drive through, exit, and try again or park on a side street.

Please only park in the Marshland car park not further afield on the clearly marked "FERNDALE ARRIVAL AND COLLECTION ONLY" side. This area is for Ferndale staff and their parents.

Mobility Parks

These are only for people with designated mobility cards. If these are full, people with mobility cards only can park in Ferndale parks.

Bus Stop

We continue to field complaints from the bus company regarding parents and whānau who are parking in this area. By parking in this area, you are also blocking the view of Road Patrollers. Please, for the safety of our tamariki do not park here.

This area is an absolute NO parking/ NO waiting zone. Please obey all parking rules. — Image by: Paul Tyson


We are regularly out in the car park to monitor parking and, if required, hand out our "You have been caught!" reminder notice. Please don’t be offended if you receive one or are asked to move. Tamariki safety is our number 1 priority.

If a family member often picks up your child on your behalf please make them aware of our expectations. 

Thank you to everyone who uses our car park and roadside areas sensibly, ensuring the safety of all our tamariki.

We also ask all parents and whānau who arrive or leave our school grounds to please use the school crossing when it is in operation. It is really important that we all model expected behaviours to our tamariki.
