Dear Parents, Caregivers and Students
CAR PARKING
From this Monday, 17 March the car park at the front of the school will be closed for up to 14 weeks to enable contractors to extend the car park and modify the exit and entrance areas. At the same time a second ‘drop off area’ will be constructed in the field on the right hand side of the driveway. A temporary pick up area will be used on the lower part of the grassed area on the right hand side. Temporary entrance and exit drives will be established. Students will wait on the grass area adjacent to a fenced off area This will place enormous pressure on us particularly at the end of the school day. We ask that you a) Follow the directions of the staff on dutyb) Be patient and show ‘road courtesy’t will at times be frustrating but the outcome in 14 weeks time will make a significant improvement.
SKATEBOARDS
These are not to be brought to school.
Accidents have occurred when students have defied instructions and brought them to school and used them at interval and lunchtime.
