Kiss n Drop/Pick-up

Newcastle City Council has installed No Parking and 5 Minute parking restrictions on the southern side of Lockyer St, adjacent to our school grounds. The restrictions provide a balance of parking turnover for pick drop off/pick-up at the school and also short-term parking for school patrons.

The “Kiss and Drop Zone” is intended for parents to be able drop-off or collect their children and then leave the zone immediately. Cars are not permitted to wait longer than a few minutes and drivers are not to leave their vehicles.

To make the “Kiss and Drop Zone” work, we ask that parents who intend to collect their children in the afternoon, aim to arrive at the zone between 3pm-3.10pm. This will allow your child to leave the classroom and be ready and waiting at the “Kiss and Drop Zone” with the supervising teacher to be collected. Parents who intend to use the Pick-Up area on afternoons can contact the school office and request a laminated family-name sign for placement on the car’s dashboard when collecting their child/ren.

Please note if you are travelling towards the zone up Lockyer Street and the line is visibly long then it is suggested you wait at the bottom of Lockyer St and don't join the line until it starts to clear. This will ensure there is no double parking which results in frustration from our neigbours and the community.

Parents are not permitted to use the school driveway or staff parking area. Most importantly, we ask parents to observe road rules carefully and avoid making illegal U-turns outside the school or block driveways.

Please note that if children are not collected by 3.10pm they will be taken to the school office and parent/carer/emergency contact will be called.
