Shared Solar

Solar Analytics is working with Canterbury Girls to trial the first versions of Shared Solar. Imagine if you share your solar energy within your community, to benefit those you care about. Shared Solar allows members of a community to connect with each other to share rooftop solar energy within the local community, instead of exporting excess solar back into the grid. Please register your interest at: www.sharedsolar.solaranalytics.com

https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/roads/safety-rules/demerits-school.pdf

Please note:

Advise your daughters NOT to cross Church St except at crossing in front of Canterbury PS. If picking up students please observe all signs, park & walk if necessary to pick up.

Students should wait inside the front gate for buses to avoid crowds on the footpath.

Stay on the footpath, never walk in the gutter at the bus stop.

Use the Princess St and Minter St exits if you can.

When picking up in Church St:

Observe the signs on Church St and do not park in the bus zones and do not double park.

It is extremely dangerous to walk across the road and get in a car which is double parked - PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW YOUR DAUGHTER TO DO THIS.

Safety tips for drivers around school zones

School zones operate between 8-9.30am and 2.30-4pm on school days. The speed limit is 40km/h in all school zones.

Parking around School Zones  - know the rules

• ​No Stopping Vehicles must not stop in a No Stopping area for any length of time, no matter how short. Dropping off or picking up passengers is not permitted in these areas. A continuous yellow edge line also indicates a No Stopping zone. The fine for this offense exceeds $325, along with the deduction of two demerit points.
• No Parking Vehicles may stop in a No Parking area to pick up or drop off goods or passengers provided drivers stay within three meters of their vehicle and are not parked in the No Parking zone for longer than two minutes. The fine for this offense exceeds $180, along with the deduction of two demerit points.
• Bus Zones Must be kept clear at all times. Vehicles that are parked and stopped in bus zones create problems for bus drivers pulling into and out of these bays. Buses forced to double park and manoeuvre through inadequate space is extremely dangerous. It is illegal to stop in a bus zone for any period of time. The fine for this offense exceeds $325, along with the deduction of two demerit points.
• Double Parking Vehicles may not stop next to legally parked vehicles, even for a short time. Double parking reduces the visibility for other motorists and pedestrians and it can also cause other motorists to drive on to the wrong side of the road in order to pass. It is illegal to park within three metres of double white centre lines. The fine for this offense exceeds $325, along with the deduction of two demerit points.
