Student Safety

The safety and wellbeing of our students is paramount. We ask that all parents please do the following when collecting students at the end of the day:

When possible, please park further away from Shelford and walk up to Hood Crescent for student collection
Where appropriate, please encourage students to walk/bike/scooter/take public transport to school
If your daughter is in Junior School, please collect her from the JS gate (Gate 3) not from across the road
If your daughter is in Senior School, please do not double park in Hood Crescent. Following pick-up, please continue driving slowly (less than 40km) with an awareness of the Junior School gate, to ensure the safety of Junior School parents and students crossing Hood Crescent
Please do not park in the staff car park, Church grounds or the Doctor’s surgery car park.

Thank you in advance for your support of these measures which will help to ensure the safety of our students and their families at the end of each school day.
