School Drop off and Pick up
If you need to pick your child up early please keep it outside of recess and lunch hours, as it can be especially busy and may be difficult to locate your child in the school yard.
Recess is 10:50am -11:30am and Lunch time is 1:40pm - 2:20pm.
School Crossing
If you use the crossing, please say hello to Brendan who has taken over from Noel. Brendan is diligent and tries to keep traffic flowing.
Our urban context can be useful to help students learn about safe crossing, as well as providing challenges and dangers. If you’re parking opposite the school, please use the correct crossing with a supervisor, to help all children learn safe crossing processes. There are a lot of opportunities for parking around the school on Bank St and Montague St where children don’t have to cross any roads, or only have to cross with crossing supervisors.
If you do want to come into school we encourage you to leave the 5 minute zones free and park a little further away, so that those spaces are free for drop-and-go.
