Parking and Drop Off Safety

Do not park in either of the Mitchell Street driveways unless you have permission from Mr Reardon.

These driveways are for parents with extenuating circumstances only who have full approval by Mr Reardon.

All parents/carers should either park their car in Mitchell Street or in the Larkin Place Car Park. You should never stop your car on the road or parallel to the school and conveniently let your children out unsupervised.  There were a number of occasions last year where such behaviour almost led to a child, or adult being hit! Children arriving late to school must be signed in at the office.

Rangers have and will be patrolling the area and infringement notices may be issued.

Recently we received an email from a concerned neighbour in regards to car park behaviour. Please take the time to read this and be mindful of others in the car park.

 

Good afternoon,

I work in the area and park my car behind your school. I understand it is at my own risk being a public car park. Unfortunately after numerous excused occurrences  I would like parents at the school to be reminded of the consideration needed for other people’s vehicles. 
 
What has brought me to draw your attention to this situation in the car park, is what occurred this afternoon.  I deliberately went to my car at the bell to ensure my car would not be marked again,  only to find a child playing with her doll on my car bonnet, Her mum told her to stop as I approached to let her know it was my car. 
The car park is chaos morning and afternoon.  I have witnessed a rear ending and near misses with children between cars. I have been in my car when bags have been dragged across my car by parents and children many times as they rush through.  I have viewed other cars have the same treatment. 
I ask that the families be reminded of the respect for other people’s property and be mindful of what their children are doing when they are loading their cars. 

                                      

Returning to School With an Injury (Broken Leg/Arm)

Any student who needs to come back to school with a broken arm or leg is required to have a medical clearance and the school needs to complete a risk assessment to determine further support before your child can return to school. 

The school requests that parents make contact with the school office to arrange a meeting with Mrs Mel Waters to have a risk assessment completed before your child can return to school.

It is important that this process is followed to ensure that your child's education is not interrupted and that any support your child requires is put in place before they return to school.
