The safety of our students and all members of the community is a priority for the College. We ask parents and carers to take care when driving or parking in the streets surrounding the College, particularly during busy arrival and departure times.
The new pedestrian crossing on Flynn Avenue is an important safety measure for students and families accessing the College. The No Stopping zones near the crossing must be kept clear at all times. Vehicles stopped or parked in these areas reduce visibility for students crossing the road and for drivers approaching the crossing.
Please do not stop or park in front of or near any crossing, even briefly when dropping off or collecting students. Keeping this area clear is essential to ensure students and other pedestrians can be seen and cross safely.
The College has also received concerns from local residents regarding vehicles obstructing driveways and parking in surrounding streets in ways that create safety issues. We ask families to respect the access needs of our neighbours and only park in permitted areas.
Parking on footpaths or nature strips can limit pedestrian access and reduce visibility for drivers. Rule 197 of the Road Rules 2014 does not allow parking on a bicycle path, footpath, dividing strip or nature strip. Vehicles should be parked kerbside on the street in a permitted parking area only.
As a result of concerns raised regarding parking around the College, we understand that Liverpool City Council rangers will be patrolling the surrounding streets and may issue fines for parking offences. Please refer to the image below from Liverpool City Council showing examples of legal and illegal parking, along with other school zone offences.
Thank you for helping us keep the roads surrounding the College safe for everyone.
