St Luke's students not returning in 2027

In order for teachers and staff to prepare and plan for our 2027 learning groups, we ask those families not returning to St Luke's in 2027 to complete this withdrawal form and email it to stlukesmarsdenpark@parra.catholic.edu.au.  This is also in line with CSPD policy to give 10 weeks notice on withdrawing students from the college.

Car Park Safety and Etiquette – A Shared Responsibility

As a college community, we all play a role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff, and families—especially during the busy drop-off and pick-up periods. Recently, we have received several reports of unsafe driving practices, excessive honking, and instances of aggressive behaviour in our car park.

We understand that the car park can be a stressful place during peak times, but we kindly remind all families to exercise patience, courtesy, and care. Our shared goal is to create a calm and safe environment where every member of our community feels respected and secure.

A few important reminders:

• Drive slowly and remain alert – Children are unpredictable and may move unexpectedly.
• Follow staff directions and signage – These are in place to help maintain smooth traffic flow and ensure everyone’s safety.
• Avoid using your horn unnecessarily – This can be startling for children and disruptive to others.
• Treat others with kindness and respect – Courtesy goes a long way in creating a positive atmosphere.

Aggressive driving or behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated on school grounds. If you witness unsafe conduct, please report it to the College so we can take appropriate action.

Let’s continue to work together to model respectful and responsible behaviour for our children. Thank you for your support in keeping our school car park safe and welcoming for all.
