If you used our Stop Drop and Go Zone  you may have noticed the presence of some staff from the Midwestern Regional Council.

As you know, we communicate with you regularly about the importance of using this drop off and pick up zone appropriately. The flow of traffic works most effectively for everyone when all those accessing the zone abide by the traffic regulations. This includes adhering to the 2 minute limit on stopping.

Staff from the council will continue to be a regular presence in our afternoon pick up zone in order to ensure we are all using the system as is intended. I understand this may be frustrating for some families, however, in the long run, we are confident it will result in a more streamlined pick up process for everyone.

Please be aware:

• Cars should not be parked in the pick up zone until children are ready to be collected at the end of the day. This means that arriving at 3pm and waiting in the queue until your child arrives 15mins later is not an option. Our advice to all families is to wait until 3:15pm or later to enter the pick up zone. That allows time for students to leave classrooms and make their way to the front of the school.
• If you are waiting for your child for 2 mins or more, you will need to lap around and join the queue again.
• If your child requires some support getting into and out of the car, staff are available to assist, or you may want to consider the option of parking elsewhere and walking to meet them at the gate instead. 
• Parents and guardians must remain in their cars at all times, no exceptions.

Please note: The fine for stopping in this zone for more than 2 minutes is $227 and the driver also incurs 2 demerit points.
