Car Park Reminder

Just a few reminders about the car parking and drop off / pick up arrangements:

  • The speed limit is 5 km/hr in the car park and all road rules apply.

  •  Pedestrians always have the right of way. 
  • Park only in the designated parking spaces, facing forwards towards the university. 
  • The white markings relate to traffic flow and parking (coloured markings relate to the children’s playing spaces.) 
  • The area closest to the Peace Gates is reserved for Set Down Only in the mornings. Parents can stop in the marked bays long enough for children to alight from the vehicle on the quadrangle side and then enter the school through the Peace Gates. 
  • For pedestrian safety there is no parking or stopping against kerb near Peace Gates after school
  • Please note that no reversing is allowed from the bays marked on the courts. 
  • Please follow the white arrows and drive in and drive out again in a forward direction only. This is to reduce the risk to children who cannot be seen by reversing vehicles. 
  • Due to the spacing of the bays, parallel parking is only available in the area adjacent to the shade shelter on the oval. This area should be used by larger vehicles and trucks wherever possible. 
  • Parallel parking is not available adjacent to the university grounds as this space is needed for vehicles to exit the parking area in a forward direction. 
  • Parking on the courts is not permitted between 9:15am and 2:45pm as they are used for play at recess and lunch and by classes for sport throughout the day. 
  • There is ‘Long Stay’ parking available in front of the hall for parents who spend time at the school after 9:00am. (This is the only area in which reversing to exit is permitted.) This ensures that the courts area is free for classes to use for sports lessons. 
  • After school, some parents may need to see teachers or the front office staff. If this is the case, please leave your cars outside in the bus bay or behind the hall on Higginbotham Street as the gates are locked at 3:30pm. 
  • All students travelling home by car are to wait in the quad until collected by a parent/carer. 
  • Parents waiting for their children after school are asked to move well into the quad to assist access. 
  • When children arrive at school, they are to enter via the Peace Gates in the quadrangle. Children are not to enter through the front office foyer. Likewise, children are not to leave through the front office at the end of the day unless catching a route bus. 
  • No child is to meet a parent/carer anywhere other than the quadrangle area at the end of school. 
  • The children must be supervised in the car park – they are not permitted to go to a parked vehicle without a parent/carer with them.
