Temporary change to traffic conditions in our school area

Today Wild Plumbing have begun excavation works to a small section of St Mary's land at the west end of the school block (Wilkinson Dr). The purpose of these works are to extend the sewer mains in readiness for the new supermarket build in the area. Wild Plumbing have placed pedestrian detour signs on the footpaths which we will place teacher supervision on for the remainder of this week. Teachers will be present in the morning from 8:30am - 8:45am and then in the afternoon from 3:05pm - 3:20pm. We ask parents to be mindful of the traffic change and as a community we strive to keep all children in the area safe.
