At the last Governing Council meeting, we discussed parent use of Kiss and Drop as well as the Church Car Park.

Parents are reminded that we have a contract with the church that provides parking for our families on the provision that we adhere to guidelines. Thank you to those families who are putting the safety of all as a first priority.

The Church car park is not a Kiss and Drop area. Parents who use the Church car park in the morning must park their car and accompany children into the school grounds.  In the afternoon, parents must park and walk into school grounds to collect their children.

Over the past two weeks, leadership has been monitoring this area and we have had to remind students on a daily basis to move back to the verandah area to await pick up. Church representatives continue to remind us that parking is only permitted around the perimeter of the church property. Parking next to the church building is strictly prohibited as this impacts the church foundations. The orange cones around the church are placed there to prevent parking. Unfortunately, we have had to ask vehicles to move on a daily basis. A breach of the conditions could jeopardise our agreement with the church.

Interestingly we have noticed that there are up to 10 parks available from 3:20 pm so it may be advisable to slightly delay your trip to the school.

Please share the above information with Grandparents or other family members who are responsible for dropping off and picking up students from the school as this too is an issue.
