Parking: Your co-operation is requested with regard to not parking in the following areas:

Bicycles at School: Year 7 and 8 students can bring their bicycles to school. Bikes are not to be ridden on the school grounds, students will need to hop off their bike at the school gates and walk them to the bike rack. We recommend students bring a lock to secure their bicycle. Parents are responsible for ensuring their children are aware of road safety and hazards as they cycle to school.
Parents teaching their children about correct / sensible traffic safety rules is appreciated.
