Safe Travel

Road_Safety_Management_Plan_2021.jpgDrop-off/Pick-up Zone: 

This area is nearest the hall and Kindergarten Pod and is ONLY for dropping off or picking up children. If parents want to see a staff member or visit the Administration Office, they are asked to park in the visitor car park. 

Pick-up procedures:

  • The Pick-up/Drop-off area is for parents to wait 2 minutes in their vehicle for their child/ren, not for parking (At any time). 
  • Bollards are placed on the perimeter of the pick-up area to ensure there is no overtaking. 
  • Parents are asked to display the family name on the passenger side visor and remain in the pick-up area for no more than two minutes. 
  • No child is permitted to leave the synthetic grassed area without parents collecting them or pulling up and coming to a stop in the pick-up area.
  • If your child is not sitting on the synthetic grass, parents are asked to move on and either park or do another lap. 
  •  It is recommended that children enter a car on the left-hand side. If this is not possible, parents must assist their child into the car on the right-hand side. *Supervision begins at 8.30 am each morning. 

Bus Bay: 

  • The bus bay area is strictly for buses ONLY. 
  • Parents or caregivers are not permitted to enter the bus bay area to drop children off, pick them up or park. 
  • Parents/caregivers are not to walk through the bus bay area when picking children up if parking on Macksville Heights Drive. 
  • Children catching a bus in the afternoon will be supervised by a staff member in the COLA (Covered Outdoor Learning Area) and will remain there until their bus number has been called. Children catching an early bus will line up inside the bus bay gate and wait for the duty teacher to arrive before boarding their bus. 
  • A staff member will supervise children in the bus bay and will call for each bus (for example, Bus 375) using a microphone that relays a message to the COLA duty teacher. 

*Buses leave school at 3.10 pm, with the last bus leaving at 3.40 pm when supervision concludes.
