Keeping everyone safe around ENPS

Drop Off and Pick Up Zone

Between 8am to 9am in the morning, and 3pm to 4pm in the afternoon, there are designated "drop off" and "pick up" stopping areas on Gillies Street and McCulloch Street. The rules for using this area are to stop (approximately 1-2 minutes) and allow your children to safely board your vehicle. Do not leave the driver's seat.

 

These areas are NO PARKING and NO STANDING:

  • do not park, sit in your car and wait for your children in this area; and
  • do not leave your vehicle unattended.

Parking in these areas is causing traffic delays to all families and puts you at risk of being fined by Moonee Valley City Council. Parking fines range from $96 to $192 depending on the offence. See flyer below for more information. 

Tips for Using the Drop Off and Pick Up Zone

  • Change your pick up time: students are dismissed at 3:15pm, however by the time they pack bags, talk with friends, find their siblings and dawdle to the nominated pick up zone, it is 3:20pm or thereafter. Arrange with your children to meet them later. ENPS staff are monitoring gates and pick up areas until 3:30pm.
  • Don’t arrive early: change your routine and leave home 5 - 10 minutes later in order to pick up and keep moving.

Parking

Parking is limited around ENPS. Utilise the second and third streets further on from school in order to get a park and enjoy a walk to and from school at drop off and pick up.

Crossing Safety

When driving, do not make U-turns on or near a pedestrian crossing.

 

When walking, do not cross busy roads where there is a pedestrian crossing available. Be a safety role model to your children.

 

Do not cross between cars. Children are small and cannot always be seen by drivers.

ENPS Crossing Guards

We have wonderful ENPS Crossing Guards.  

  • Rosa on Keilor Road
  • Gordon on McCulloch Street
  • Ernie on Gillies Street

Please remember to always be respectful to them. They do a wonderful job at keeping our community safe. Please don't take your traffic frustrations out on them.

Keep Your Car Secure

Please ensure your personal possessions are kept out of view when you leave your vehicle. Ensure your car is locked.

 

Keep an eye out for yourself and other families and report to the school office or Moonee Valley Police Station if you see any suspicious behaviour.
