Parking reminders 

Kiss and Go

"You may only stop in this area for up to 2 minutes to drop off or pick up children. The driver may not leave the vehicle unattended. This means no more than 3 metres away from the vehicle. This zone applies only during the hours of operation as indicated on the sign". 

Remember 

•  Do not leave your vehicle. To assist with traffic flow, drivers should remain in the car whilst children get in and out.

 • Be timely If your child does not get in or out of the vehicle within 2 minutes you must leave and re-enter the Kiss & Go zone. 

• Child safety Please ensure children get in or out of the vehicle on the kerb side. The back seat is the safest seat for children to travel in. Ensure children have their restraints securely fastened before driving off. 

• Stay in sequence Drop off or pick up your child close to the top of the zone, as far forward as possible. This allows vehicles following you to enter the zone in an orderly manner. 

• Driver duty of care Observe traffic when entering or leaving the zone. Use your indicator to advise when moving into or out of the zone.

 • No U-turns Do not do U-turn in busy school zones. They are dangerous and put children at risk.

Disabled parking

The disabled parking space on Speight Street is reserved for parents and carers who require easy access to this space for the pickup and drop off of their children. Recently, we have had a concern raised by one of our parents who is finding school drop offs and pickups increasingly stressful & hazardous. Parking is often difficult because cars are following too close behind the car that is reversing into the disabled space making parallel parking challenging. Often, adults are standing in groups on the road waiting for the bell, in the disabled parking spot. Many people are also using the disabled parking area as a crossing point with children which is very dangerous for all concerned. We ask that families please be mindful of the issues raised around our school so that everyone has equal access, and everyone remains safe on the roads.
