Parking
inside school grounds
The safety of our children is a major
concern and parents are asked to be particularly careful at the start and end
of the school day.
The Prep Car Park off Newnham Road is only for the use
of parents delivering and collecting children from Prep. Parents who have a genuine need to enter the school
grounds must do so through the Wecker Road and Newnham Road entrances where
marked parking is available. Parking
near the buildings is reserved for School staff. Do not use this area as a drop
off for students. Disabled parking spaces are available in this car park.
There is also parking available in the
C & K Car park off Newnham Rd, and the oval car park opposite the Sam Riley Swimming Pool.
Please do not park in reserved spaces, across gateways or on the internal
roadway. Pedestrians, children and
adults, are asked to enter and leave the grounds by the small pedestrian gates
and cross at the lights or crossing.
Please note that parking in the pick up
areas hinders the smooth flow of traffic. This is a two minute pick up/drop off area only.
Home to
school
Children should be familiar with the roads
between home and school. Parents are
asked to direct their children to use one route. They should be aware of road hazards,
crossings and road safety rules. Check
to see that your child does not loiter on the way home, visit friends without
your approval, talk to strangers or go a different way home.
Children are educated about “Protective
Behaviours”. Children should arrive at
the school grounds no earlier than 8.30am and should depart promptly after
dismissal in the afternoon unless participating in school-organised activities. No children will be permitted to leave the
school grounds between the time of arrival and dismissal without written
permission or a phone call from a Parent or Guardian. As teachers are involved in preparation
before school, no direct supervision is possible and children will be expected
to engage in quiet activities.
It is expected that students travelling to
and from school follow appropriate rules and model correct behaviour. The Principal has the authority to apply
consequences for inappropriate behaviours to and from school. Students are also to wear their appropriate
school uniform and helmet if riding a bike or scooter.
Bicycles/scooters
To ensure the safety of all
individuals, bicycles/scooters are to be walked in the school grounds. A special area under B Block is set aside for
the storage. It is advisable
for children to chain and lock their bicycles/scooters and helmets to the racks.
Please note: Under the current laws, bicycles/scooters are to be ridden with helmets.
