As previously published in the newsletter, we ask parents not to block traffic on James St - this creates a traffic hazard and disrupts the flow of buses exiting the College.
Our morning drop off usually works well but during the afternoon we experience problems with the flow of traffic through the James St drop off pick up area if parents arrive too early and park in the drop off pick up zone.
As the school day does not end until 3.00pm, students will not be available to be picked up until
approximately 3.05pm, so please do not arrive prior to this time.
We require the traffic to move continuously and smoothly through this area, so please aim to arrive at a time when your child will be waiting for you rather than you waiting for them.
If your child has not arrived at the loading point and you are requested to move on, please be
courteous to other drivers and leave and re-enter the grounds, by which time your child may have
arrived for pick-up.
We are fortunate in that we sit on a spacious block, giving parents additional options for picking up and dropping off your child if they don't catch a bus to and from school.
Sorell Street, while narrow, does have a footpath. Nicholls Street and Percy Street are both wide and spacious. George Street is another option but we ask that parents do not enter the staff car park in George Street, or the Student/Staff car park in Percy Street.
While we do open the Percy Street car park to parents when we have after hours events, during the school day this is exclusively for the use of students who drive, and staff.
This is something we ask to keep our P platers as safe as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring that traffic flows as smoothly and safely as possible in
and around our College.
