If you see a bus approaching, carefully leave promptly. Please use the side streets if you would like to walk your child/ren in to school.
Afternoon pickup
Pickup zone
We offer a pickup zone of an afternoon at the front of the school where you can park behind the buses and school staff will help your child get into the car safely.
Please wait on the grassed strip for the first bus to go in before following behind patiently. Do not get out of your car or jump the queue.
If this grassed area is too muddy, please use the side gate to pick up.
Side gate
You are able to park in Fredericks Lane and pick up your child at the gate. Please keep in mind that the grass area and gravel driveway between Fredericks Lane and the school is private property.
Hillcrest Drive
There is also the option to park in Hillcrest Drive and walk through the grass walkway. Please do not park across the entrance to the grassed pathway in Hillcrest Drive.
