Important reminder:
School Carpark: As our roll is growing, we need to make some changes to our drop off routines in order to keep everyone safe. We’ve made a great start with dropping children off at the gate, but we still continue to have people driving into the carpark and dropping their children off at the office, but worse, they park in the middle of the driveway or carpark so that no one can move in or out! This is primarily a staff carpark. The only parents who should be driving in will be people with children who have high needs, or new entrant students. Everyone else, please drop your children at Hillside Drive so they can walk the rest of the way into school. If your child is late, you may need to drop them at the office, but please do not park in the middle of the thoroughfare. If you do drive in, please be respectful of the mobility carpark which is reserved for people who have a mobility permit only. Thank you for your cooperation.
Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,

"Kia ora koutou,
We have noticed that our school carpark has become increasingly busy in the mornings, which is creating some safety concerns for our tamariki. As this is primarily a staff carpark, we ask that only parents of new entrant children and children with high needs use a marked carpark space for drop-off. All other parents are requested to drop their children outside the school gates, with children walking safely along the footpath to their classrooms.
We absolutely welcome whānau into our school grounds and do not wish to discourage this. However, due to the current congestion and some unsafe parking, we need to prioritise student safety. At this stage, this request applies to mornings only. Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us keep everyone safe.
Ngā mihi nui
Karen Wellington."
