NT Health exclusion periods

If your child has any of the following conditions please note the NT Health exclusion periods that apply. It is important we all follow these measuresa and be mindful that there are people in our community that are immunocompromised.

CAR PARK SAFETY

A friendly reminder to all parents and staff:

Please could everyone use the red dirt trails when walking from their car to the school buildings. This will make it safer for everyone, especially the children. A lovely rhyme to help children remember is:

Students are not permitted to walk / run across the middle of the car park to their parents’ vehicle. Please ensure that you observe the car park signs and walk on the paths provided, even when you don’t have your children with you, as it can be difficult for drivers to see you when they are reversing from a parking space.  

It also sets a good example to all the children in the school.

The drop & go area needs to move along at a good pace so that we do not have an unsafe obstruction at the school entry.  If your child is not ready for collection you may wish to either park or exit the car park and re-join the line.  Those who have collected their children and are behind another vehicle can ease out across the yellow line of speed humps, giving way to traffic already in the car park access lane.

Please do not exit your vehicle or have external conversations whilst in the drop & go zone – we understand that sometimes musical instruments need to be removed from the rear of the vehicle – please ensure that you do this in a timely manner.

Please also note that the speed limit upon entry to the school is walking pace.

Thank you for keeping everyone safe.
