Parking and Road Safety Reminder

With the term underway, we would like to remind families of the importance of road safety and appropriate parking around our school. From 28 January, Local Laws officers in conjunction with Victoria Police have been conducting patrols around schools during pick-up and drop-off times, focusing on speeding, mobile phone use, and parking compliance. We kindly ask all parents and carers to adhere to all road rules, observe parking restrictions, and drive with care to help keep our school community safe. Thank you for your cooperation and ongoing support.
