Road Safety Update

  • Parents using the Kiss and Drop Zone are to go to the end of Princeton Ave, turn and come back down to the area. Please do not U-turn on the crest. 
  • If crossing Vista Parade, please use the Crossing in front of the Hall. 
  • The Kiss and Drop Area has been moved further up Princeton Ave to allow for the necessary clearance for the new Bus stop. Parents are asked to not drop off in the Bus Zone and use the dedicated Kiss and Drop space.
  • Parents are asked to not drive into the private road of the units on Vista parade to drop off in the morning. There have been a number of parents dropping off in the Church Carpark and the Private Road at Raspberry Gully. Please do not use these areas to drop children at school for safety reasons.
  • Parents dropping off and walking children into school, please park away from intersections, hold your child's hand, check for cars and cross the road in a safe area. This may mean that parents park several blocks away and walk to the entrance. 
  • Please abide by the road rules and do not park within 10m of an intersection. Parking too close to the intersection obstructs vision and buses are unable to turn into side streets. 
  • Do not park/ or drop off  in No Stopping Zones.  
  • If collecting from Parent pick up in the afternoon, please ensure that your child/ren stay with you at all times especially on the curb side of the road. 
  • Students walking towards Nesbitt Park have been reminded that they are not to walk along side of the drain. Parents are encouraged to meet children on Vista and walk around to Grayson Ave to Nesbitt Park.


We are all committed to keeping our children safe. Rangers and NSW Police also patrol the area on a frequent basis, so I encourage all families to please take extra care on the roads around the the school. And please do not park across driveways.
