Parking and traffic flow
Thank you to the parents and carers that used our drop off/pick up area well. We really appreciate your support and care.
A couple of reminders:
People reversing out of the car parks at the end of the day are causing some congestion by holding up traffic flow. To assist with this could you please be mindful of the following:
- Moving traffic has the right of way. We understand you may want to stop and let people in, however, please don’t as this causes traffic build up.
- If you are attempting to reverse out of parking spaces please wait and be patient until the flow of traffic has cleared
- If possible reverse into the straight parking spaces. This does not apply to the angled parking at the western end of the car park. If the flow of traffic eases – you can then simply move out, rather than cause congestion as you reverse.
Safety reminders at pick up and drop off times:
- Parking or standing in the pick-up/drop-off zone (to the east of the office area) is not permitted between 8:45-9:15 and 2:45-3:15. Drivers are to stay in their car with the motor running.
- Move your car to the front of the line to allow other cars access into the area.
- Try another lap or find a park in a designated area if your child is late to the pick-up zone
- Avoid double parking in the pick-up area as it becomes very dangerous when students attempt to walk between the cars.
- Delay pick up until after 3:05pm as teachers do not dismiss students until 3:00pm. It may be best to alter your family’s pick up time to 3:10 as this allows your child time to move to the pick-up area (and avoid the rush).
We appreciate your support and extra care within our car parks as we make this a safer place before and after school.
