Driving and parking

Our school car park is a very busy area of a morning and afternoon. To ensure safety for all, the school operates a one way system through the car park. Entry is via the lower gate using the round-a-bout and bypass access road leading into the school and exit is through the top gate that leads directly onto Hillsborough Road (see map ).

The speed limit in the car park is 10km/h and please leave the gates as you find them – if they are closed please close them when entering or exiting the school. It is NSW Government Policy that all persons who park on school grounds do so at their own risk.

The bus drop off area is a pedestrian free zone where possible. For the safety of all students the main gate to the school on Hillsborough Road is locked between 9.15 am and 2.30pm. If you have to access the school between these times please shut the gates after you have opened them.

Drop off

Staff supervision begins each morning at 8.45am. Parents and carers who wish to drop off their child in the morning, are asked to join the transport queue. When at the front of the line, staff will assist in getting your child out of the car and into the school.

Pick up

Commences at 2.30pm from the top playground gate near the gym. Parents and carers who wish to pick up their child are asked to park on the grass near the gate and wait for staff to escort their child out.

Please ensure you hold your child’s hand as our carpark is a busy place of an afternoon.
