Parking and Drive Through Areas

Parking around schools is always at a premium. Parents need to be patient and considerate to ensure that the traffic flows smoothly. Parents also need to be courteous to the school neighbours and follow the ‘No Standing’ street signs at all times to avoid being issued with fines.

Administration Carpark

This Car Park cannot be used to drop children off in the morning or pick them up during the afternoon as this is very dangerous as cars are pulling in and out at all times. Parents may use this Carpark only for office business during the day between 9.30am and 2.00pm.

End of the School Day

Children are supervised between 3.00pm and 3.20pm at the Drive Throughs adjacent to the Canteen, the Drive Through at Russell Street and at the Library entry/exit gate. Children who are still at school after 3.20pm will be required to report to the school office where they sign in and stay there until they are collected. Parents need to park their car and come into the office to collect their children. 

The Office closes at 4.00pm each day.
