Traffic Hazard
Parking
As part of our continual review of traffic safety and the parking around the school, we have contacted a Traffic Management Consultant. This consultant will advise us on traffic management and parking in order to solve some of the short term and the long-term issues regarding the movement of traffic around the school. We will let you know the Traffic Management Consultant’s suggestions once we receive them.
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.
As part of our regular review of Work Health and Safety, the movement of children through the Kiss and Drop gate has been identified as a hazard (cars and students moving through gateway), therefore we are required to make attempts to alleviate the hazard. This is why we are trialling following changes. 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 the Kiss and Drop gate.
Please do not ask your child to come through the OSHC gates. This is for parents and children who have come in through the Kiss and Drop gate.
You are also reminded that a teacher is on duty in the Kiss and Drop area until 3.30pm every afternoon. You may like to arrive a little later (eg 3.15-3.20) when the area is less busy and you do not need to queue in your cars for so long.
Parents and carers may access the school through the Kiss and Drop gates and Acton Street gates from 3.00pm. The front gates on Windsor Ave are open once a teacher goes on duty. There are benches near the Windsor Ave gates should you like to wait there.
If you come into a building you are required by SA Health to use the QR codes that are displayed around each building. You are not required to use the QR codes if you stay within the yard.
Please remember that all we do is for the safety of the children in our care. These processes are constantly being reviewed.
We thank you for your cooperation.
