Parking and Local Road Rules
How to enter Kalinda Primary School
Please obey the local speed limits - most are 40km per hour, and the speed along Kalinda Road changes during school drop off and pick up hours. We have several schools in the area, and drop off and pick up times can be extremely busy. Please take your time, and do not attempt U-turns on Kalinda Road.
Michael, the crossing supervisor does a wonderful job of assisting our students and families crossing busy Kalinda Road.
When parking in local side streets, please be considerate and leave enough space for homeowners to enter and leave safely. Maroondah City Council parking officers regularly check the local streets and will fine any car illegally parked.
Please do not park in the staff car park. Please pass this message on to any one else who may pick up your children. The first bay in the carpark is for Team Kids drop off and pick up.
The staff car park area is out of bounds for students and families for safety reasons. Trucks and delivery vans use this area throughout the day, as well as staff who sometimes start at staggered times.
It is unsafe for parents and children to walk through the carpark, and we ask that you use the paths around the grounds.
