Kingsgrove Road is a busy thoroughfare, with four lanes of very busy traffic.
We provide some supervision each afternoon, but I ask you to impress on your child the need to cross Kingsgrove Road appropriately, at pedestrian controlled crossings at either the Stoney Creek Road or the Primary School Crossings.
Similarly, mornings are very busy around the Infants’ School campus, and the Primary School campus, at the front of the high school. Sadly, I note many parents from both schools do not abide by common sense and safe road usage. I yet again implore parents to take extreme care when dropping their children off at the high school.
Parents, and the community, need to be extra vigilant as young people can be unpredictable, and I request that you abide by all road rules when in the school vicinity, with particular reference to parking and dropping students at the school.
We strongly encourage students to use the pedestrian gates at the front of the school, to access the school. No student has permission to use the school’s carpark driveway gates, this is an essential safety management strategy.
We have painted markings around the car park area that these areas are out-of-bounds to students, and information has been given to students at whole school and year assemblies. The school will apply consequence to those students who do not conduct themselves in a safe manner.
There is also no parking on the school’s premises for parents and visitors, and due to limited parking, many staff need to park in adjacent streets. If you need to drop your child due to injury, illness, or lack of wellbeing, please inform the school. We are happy to support families, and ask that you drive into the carpark and down to the disability drop off area.
