Driving and parking
The start and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools.
When driving and parking near our school, please:
- ensure you park safely in school zones
- follow speed signs
- do not make U-turns or 3-point turns outside the school.
Kiss and Ride
Designed for quick entry and exit, these zones minimise congestion and risk when used properly by all parents and carers.
These zones operate under the same conditions as no parking zones, which means you may stop to drop off or pick up children for a maximum of 2 minutes. You are required to remain in, or within 3 metres of, your vehicle.
Our school continues to witness and receive concerns about cars remaining in the Kiss and Ride zone for extended periods, cars stopping at the end of the Kiss and Ride zone rather than moving their car up to the top of the zone to allow cars behind to enter.
We appreciate you working with us to keep our children safe. ss and Ride in the morning
