Parking and Pick-up & Drop-off Guide

City Of Nedlands Ranger Notice

We would like to remind all people picking up and dropping students off to please ensure that they are being respectful of the road rules and courteous to our neighbours.

Main concerns include emergency vehicles unable to access AEGIS off Heritage Lane with current vehicles blocking access.

Cars are not permitted to queue between the roundabout and the entry to the pickup loop on Mooro Drive. The Nedlands rangers have requested that vehicles only queue and enter from the east, so access to the loop will only be by a right hand turn into the pickup area. Having this road partially blocked where there is a yellow no stopping sign possess a safety risk to pedestrians and is a concern for residents.

We appreciate your help in making our school safe for all.

Parking at the College

Student parking is located at the back of the ovals, and access is via the slip road near the Grounds and Maintenance facility.
Secondary drop off and pick up will be via the new main car park accessed off John XXIII Avenue.
Pre-Kindy, Kindy and Pre-Primary parking is available in the carpark via Heritage Lane.
Primary (Years 1-6) drop off and pick up is via the Mooro Drive main entrance loop (in front of main administration). It is expected that this loop will be for the sole use of parents with Primary students.
Staff parking is situation in the main car park accessed off John XXIII Avenue, Mooro Drive main entrance and Heritage Lane carpark.

Help the flow and improve safety

Please drive carefully and slowly whilst in a school zone, and particularly in the Loop Carpark.

The beginning and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside our school campus. You can help keep students safe by remembering the following:

Slow down around the College and drive safely.
Be aware, be courteous and be responsible.
Please use the John XXIII College carparks only. We need to respect our neighbours. Parking, even if for five minutes during morning or afternoon pick-up, is causing inconvenience.
Drop your child off and pick them up in designated pick-up areas (see above for further details).
Always take extra care in 40km school zones.
Observe and adhere to all regulatory signage and follow all parking signs - these help keep your child as safe as possible.
Never double park - it is illegal and puts children at risk.
Model safe and considerate pedestrian and driver behaviours.
Always give way to pedestrians particularly when entering and leaving driveways.
Please make sure you carefully read the parking signs before you park your vehicle.
Vehicles on the College campus must be parked within marked bays at all times.
Vehicles may not park in no parking areas, no stopping areas, access ways or any area not officially set aside for parking, including verges, gardens and pathways.

Pick-up and drop-off guide

The pick-up and drop off guide for the College are as follows:

The Loop (Mooro Drive entrance)

Available for morning drop-off and pick-up for Years 1-6 students.
Please have your surname sign displayed on your dashboard.
Teaching staff operate the loop for the afternoon pickup between 3:15pm and 3:30pm.

The Loop's Rules - Morning

Please drive all the way to the bottom of the loop (in front of the Administration building).
For safety, have your child exit from the non-driver (left) side of the vehicle.

The Loop's Rules - Afternoon

Please do not arrive until after 3:10pm. If your child takes a little while to walk to the loop, then perhaps arrive even a bit later.
Try to keep Mooro Drive flowing:
Ideally, approach the loop from the west end of Mooro Drive. This allows an easy left-hand turn into the loop.
Smart queuing: When waiting for your child in the afternoon please drive all the way to the Administration building to queue (this allows more vehicles to queue off Mooro Drive).
Be easy to spot: Have your surname sign displayed on your dash board. The teachers will then call your child/children, ready for your approach.
Keep it moving: If your child isn't yet at the loop, then please 'keep looping'. This allows other parents (with children who are ready) to start pick up. Handy tip: If your child takes a little while to walk to the loop, then perhaps arrive a bit later. A teacher is on duty until 3:30pm
Keep it safe: Once you have stopped in front of the Administration building, please stay in your vehicle. Staff will help your child get into your car safely, from the non-driver side.
