PARKING DANGERS We realise that parking and in particular dropping children off and picking them up again is a significant issue for parents at our school. I have met with members of the Council and Police to try to resolve this problem. At this time we have not been able to find a solution. I respectfully request that all parents please avoid putting children in danger at these critical times. Some parents are parking illegally, in particular making it difficult for our Road Patrol students to safely do their job, by parking in a manner that obscures their vision. This applies to all of the streets that surround our school. The Police have issued infringement notices to over a dozen drivers in the past few days for illegal parking. We very much want to avoid this happening, but more importantly we need to keep our students safe. If you have any ideas about how we can resolve this problem I would love to hear from you. Crossing our Busy Roads: We teach all of our students to use the pedestrian crossings when walking to and from school. We also talk to them about where and how to across roads when there is not a pedestrian crossing available. I would appreciate it if our parents or other caregivers who walk with children to and from school could please support us by using the crossings available, rather than crossing in potentially unsafe areas.
