Important Information regarding the new "Kiss & Go Zone"

Dear Parents, Safely use the Kiss & Go zone. The zone provides you with a safe and convenient area for dropping off and picking up your children. It’s a short-term stopping area for children to be able to walk between the car and the school using the safety of the footpath. Kiss & Go rules -

• The zones operate under the same conditions as ‘No Parking’ zones. You may stop in this area for up to 2 minutes to drop off or pick up children.
•  The driver must 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.

1. Remember don’t leave your vehicle – to help with traffic flow, you should remain in the car while children get in and out. 
2. 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.
3. 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. Child safety – please ensure children get in or out of the vehicle on the kerb side.
4. The back seat is the safest seat for children to travel in. Ensure children have their restraints securely fastened before driving off. 
5. 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 – don’t do U-turns in busy school zones. 
6. They are dangerous and put children at risk. (Not applicable to one-way street) 

Thanks to all parents, guardians, teachers and students for your cooperation to ensure the safety of children at our school.
