Parking and Traffic

You are here

The beginning and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and vehicles outside the College.

  • Park safely and legally, even if it means walking further to the entry gate. 
  • Slow down to 40km/h in the school zone and stay aware of crossings.
  • Always park and turn legally around the College.
  • Never double park as it puts children at risk.
  • Manoeuvres such as U-turns and three-point turns are dangerous.
  • Never park in a bus zone.
  • Make sure your children use the Safety Door (rear footpath side door) to get in and out of the car.
  • At a supervised crossing, observe the directions of the school crossing supervisor.
  • Model safe and considerate behaviour for your child – they will learn from you.
  • Remember to always give way to pedestrians particularly when entering and leaving driveways.
  • Don’t park across the driveways/entrances to the car park.
  • Try to use Kiss & Ride Zones and Drop-off/Pick-Up areas. This will help keep all children as safe as possible during the busiest times of the day.
  • Do not park on or block driveways or roundabouts
  • Pedestrians should avoid crossing in the Kiss & Ride Areas and around roundabouts.
