Pick Up and Drop Off Information

To keep our driveway safe for all children, here’s a reminder on entering the school grounds in your vehicle.

• The Sports Centre car park can now be used for student drop off. This is a great option as it removes vehicles from entering the heart of the school, and will allow you to leave the way you drove in, via the main gate. Please note that this section of road – from the main gate to the Sports Centre – is the only part of the driveway that is two-way traffic.
  

If you are not using the Sports Centre car park to drop your child off, please see the other options below.

• Primary students (Years 0 - 6) to be dropped off and collected at the rear of the school.
  
• Intermediate students (Years 7 & 8) are to be dropped off and collected in front of the main office (Wiremu Building).
  

Please also note -

• The speed limit is 20kph. Please adhere to this at all times.
  
• If you drive through to the rest of the school, please continue through and exit onto Simla Avenue
  

We want to reduce traffic entering the heart of the school for safety reasons, and have plans to build a turning circle shortly. But in the meanwhile, please be incredibly careful when driving into the school.
