Margaret Lowe – Deputy Principal

There are some significant safety concerns at the end of the school day as a result of the traffic around the School. Safety issues are being caused by double parking, by having pedestrian access points through carparks and by parents stopping to come into School rather than using Go With the Flow hence increasing the congestion.

Next term we will be changing the system so that we minimise the possibility of a terrible accident.

Students in Primary and High School will only be able to exit via Waxman and Avoca Gates and NOT through the Music Block and Kornmehl car park. It is unsafe to mix cars and pedestrians.

Parents of Primary and High School students are asked to collect students via Go With the Flow rather than park and come into the School. Additional parked cars causes increased congestion.

Parents are asked to abide by the road rules and to consider the neighbours and other road users when picking up from School. Let’s make common courtesy common!

It will be entirely worth the extra 5 minutes it may take to pick up your child if we are ensuring the safety of all children. It will be entirely worth practising being patient when picking up your child if it means that we are setting a positive example to all of our students about respect.

Parents may wish to note that the Council Rangers have informed the School they will be present in the afternoons in an ongoing capacity as a result of the complaints they have received.
