College Dean | Mr Chris Ryan

Drop off and Parking

Please pardon my repetition of this message from last week but this is an ongoing and important safety issue.

One issue that continues to be of safety concern for students, staff and parents is the top drive way on Victoria Street. This is a key entry point on to the Campus for staff and an access point for students as well. Some parents dropping their sons off continue to park over the drive way and block the entry point for staff or park partially blocking off the driveway which makes the entry for staff difficult and dangerous as they cannot see students on the driveway. We would ask again that parents please refrain from stopping over or across the driveway. As always, your support on this matter is greatly appreciated.
