Margy's news

Dear Families,

What a fantastic afternoon it was at our Welcome Picnic! A huge thank you to the Parents and Friends for organising such a beautiful celebration. It was heartwarming to see all the families come together to enjoy the fun-filled activities, including face painting, a delicious sausage sizzle, exciting games and of course an unforgettable dance party! It was the perfect way to kick off the year, with laughter, fun and a sense of community. We are grateful for everyone who helped make it such a special event!


Parking

This is a reminder that under no circumstances are cars to be driving up and down the Church driveway for pick up or drop off.

As mentioned many times in the past, this is a pedestrian thoroughfare and it is far too dangerous to have vehicles doing Uturns, parking and reversing in this area before and after school.

We trust you will understand how important this safety issue is to protect pedestrians and children on bikes and scooters.

There are many parking bays in Higgins Rd for parents to park and walk their children to and from school. Please be aware of the red parking zones near the crossing, which are not to be used for parking between 8 - 9:30am and 2:30 - 4pm on school days. 

Riddle Street parking outside the Tennis Courts is a drop off zone only. Parents are asked not to park and exit their vehicle; this is a “kiss-and-go” drop off point.

In the interests of keeping everyone safe, especially the students, and to keep traffic flowing, parents are asked to NOT make U-turns here. Whilst there are a great deal of road works and blockages in and around the school at the moment, we do ask that you please continue driving along Riddle Street, rather than trying to turn around. We thank you for your understanding with this, as we try to create a safe drop off and pick up zone for the students.
