Access to School and Pick Up Plans
Access to the School
Please READ all signage at the gates regarding school access and follow social distancing requirements (1.5m). For the safety of all, parents/carers are NOT to enter the school grounds. If you must attend the office- you will be required to use the side window. Please note that staff are not available for face-to-face meetings, so please email or phone the office.
What’s Your Pick Up Plan?
With our revised entry points to the school, please ensure that your child knows HOW they are getting home (waiting at their year level gate, Stop, Drop and Go, walking or biking) and WHO is picking them up. For younger students put a paper tag on the bag handle which says how they will get home- STOP, DROP, GO, PREP GATE, BUS, BIKE. This will help school staff as we sort students.
- Students using Stop, Drop and Go will meet in the undercroft and be walked out. Don’t forget to make sure your child knows your car and have the NAME of the youngest in the family on the sun visor.
- Families with multiple children getting met at the gate, will go to the gate of the youngest in the family.
- Bike and scooter students will meet inside the school grounds and be released just after 3:15pm to allow for the exits to clear. (If they live in the direction of DRAKES- use the pool bike racks and entry gate, if they live in the direction of the Caltex- use the double gates at the front of the library).
Stop, Drop and Go (preferred method of pick up)
- For families using the Stop, Drop and Go facility, family units will be grouped together by staff PRIOR to leaving the school grounds and directed to the Stop, Drop and Go area.
- We ask that all families using the Stop, Drop and Go have a name plate with the surname of the youngest in the family on it, for quick identification- ideally place this on the left hand side sun visor so staff can read from the footpath.
- For single students (no siblings) they will be walked out to Stop, Drop and Go.
