Principal's Report
Car Park
Recently our school carpark had some new line markings put down to help alleviate the lack of parking available at morning drop off and afternoon collect times.
We request all traffic enter through the school main entrance off the Bass Highway and exit through Dobson's Lane. This will allow traffic to flow easily and keep students and parents safe. There are now parallel parking spaces along the area normally used for pick up times. These drop off / collect spaces are designed for you to stop, either to drop off or collect your child (helping them if required) and to keep moving once they have either entered the school grounds safely or are securely in the car with you. This process is similar to an airport drop off and collection process.
You are still welcome to walk your child into school or collect them from the garden area, but ask for you to park in the main carpark when doing this.
The new drop off / collect car spaces may be used for parking between 9.15am - 2.30pm.
Upgrades
With recent carpark changes and playground markings, we have also had new rock edging and pathways improved. Our library has received new shelving and blinds and will soon have a new work station and carpet installed. The Rage Cage has had maintenance work carried out, the canteen a new bench and heating improvements across the school. These upgrades help ensure our school is safe and vibrant, providing a quality learning environment for your child/ren.
Bus Safety
There have been reports of students crossing the Bass highway and other roads unnecessarily at bus stops, particularly if a student has missed the bus for any reason. Please talk with your child about safety around roads, especially busses to help keep everyone safe.
