Parking Around the School
We respectfully remind all parents and carers to show kindness and patience around school drop off and pick up times. The end of the school day, in particular, is an especially busy time for parking around our school.
It is important that everyone is following the road rules, signage and parking in a manner that is safe.
In particular, please remember that the bus stop in Simpson St is for bus parking only, and our “drop & go” zone is near the gym, accessed by either Inglis St or Yuille St. The “drop & go” parking area is for 2 minutes only and drivers are requested to stay near their car.
Should an issue arise, please use appropriate behaviour and language and speak respectfully to others to resolve any concerns.
We are aware that several families rely on the disabled car parking bays and remind everyone that two additional disabled parking bays are located in the staff car park. Members of the public are welcome to utilise the disabled bays only in the staff car park should they be required.
However, please do not use the staff car park for general parking at pick up and drop off times.
We are fortunate to have many accessible roads around our school and are very well placed compared to other schools in terms of parking. Please consider parking and walking a little further to help ease traffic congestion, particularly on Simpson St (front of the school).
