SCHOOL YARD CONNECTIONS

It has been wonderful to see parents and carers connect with one another at morning drop off and/or after school pick up.

With our Staff Team parking in the street and/or church carparks we have opened up the parking spaces next to the tennis courts for parents, carers and visitors to the school.

Strategically, this has also supported decreasing the numbers of cars lining up at Kiss 'n Go and/or End of Day Pick Up, supporting a more fluid flow of cars (and people) at these busy times of the day.

For those parents and carers parking, bringing your children in and/or collecting them from the school yard at morning and afternoon, this also provides an opportunity to continue to build and strengthen community connections!
