STAFF ONLY CAR PARKS

(Albany Drive & Zita St)

Parking in the Staff Car Parks is not permitted

There has been another incident recently in the back carpark where a parent has reversed out and hit another car.

Our school aims to ensure every child is kept safe when at school, and when entering and leaving the school grounds. We rely on all community members to assist us, by following clear and explicit rules in relation to the use of the staff car parks at the front and rear of the school (gravel car park).

Having students and cars all moving through the onsite parking spaces (often in a hurry) during peak pick up and drop of times, is a safety risk for all involved. We ask that parents and visitors adhere to the following:

• Only park in the disabled parking space on the grounds if you are clearly displaying a disabled car tag. If the disabled space is full, do not double park or remain in the staff park.
• Do not enter the staff car park after 8.45am in the morning, or before 3.45pm in the afternoon, and only for collecting/ dropping students to Before and Afterschool Care- Camp Australia.
• Rain, lateness, late to work, etc are not reasons to use the carpark and risk students’ safety.

Our review of CCTV vision of the car parks shows many parents who are simply ignoring the safety of their own children and other students, by entering the carparks at peak times. If needed, I will contact these parents to discuss their specific needs. Parents who have any questions about the use of staff car parking spaces, can contact the office for more information.
