Deputy Principal Mrs Annelies Cameron Arrival at & Departure from School-Parking issues 1. Council has changed the existing No Parking 8.00am-9m and 2.30pm-3.30pm directly out the front of the

school have been converted to include 8.00-9.30am and 2.30-4.00pm, School Days. 2. The school gateways should be left clear at all times for entry/exit of emergency vehicles if required. The

gate near the new admin building is often blocked and this is our ONLY vehicular access to the preschool, back oval and K-2 areas.

3. The staffs Carparks are not to be used by parents at all. If you are collecting a sick child it is actually closer to walk from the front the gate.
