Traffic Management

Parking
Last week, the school received complaints from neighbouring properties regarding cars parking over driveways at pick up time. Please follow road rules and refrain from parking over neighbouring driveways.

Acton Avenue
We have observed many parents stopping in the middle of Acton Avenue waiting for cars to leave and then reverse parallel parking. This holds up the traffic flow and creates an unsafe environment for our families and other road users. Please do not stop your vehicle in the middle of the road and wait for a carpark to become available.  If you are collecting your child from the Acton Avenue gate, please park your car safely in the surrounding streets and walk to the gate. Alternatively, the Kiss and Drop is open if you do not wish to leave your vehicle.

A reminder that Acton Avenue is to be used for a 10 minute park, then come in and collect your child and take them out to your car. To avoid congestion, Reception children will assemble at the undercover walkway - please come in and collect your child.

Children are not permitted to cross the road without a parent or caregiver. Please cross the road to collect your child.

Pedestrians at Kiss and Drop

When the gates open at 3pm, please enter the school grounds to collect your children. It becomes extremely congested and unsafe when children are exiting the gates and looking for parents. The Kiss and Drop gate is a high traffic area and is not safe for children or adults to be walking through. You are asked to exit via the Acton Avenue gate or the OSHC gate, a little further down. Please do not exit through this gate.

Traffic around the School
Cars are continuing to stop on the corner of Hillburn and Windsor Grove and using this as a drop off point. Please do not stop on the yellow lines marked around the school, even if only for a few seconds. It is illegal to stop in these spaces and the Council regularly patrol and issue fines, even if you are stopping briefly. Due to drivers not complying with these safety protocols and indeed, the law, traffic monitors and staff on duty will begin recording number plates of vehicles which stop on these lines – before and after school, and these will be reported to SAPOL. We know that you would agree that we do not want a child injured or worse, before drivers recognise the dangers that they are creating.  Please observe the signage and help to keep our children and community safe.
