Traffic and Pedestrian Management

Your guide to driving safely during school drop-off and pick-up time around the College

The beginning and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and vehicles around the College site. It is particularly important to take extra care at this time and be mindful of others.

How you can assist:

  • Drive to the front of the drop-off/pick-up zone so that as many cars as possible can pull in behind you. Not park in the car park near the main gate.
  • If you are unable to stop in the drop-off/pick-up zone, continue to drive to the carpark behind the Mary Sheil Centre.
  • If you can’t stop in an allocated area, continue to exit the grounds and come back around.
  • Drive in a one-way direction and exit via the back gate.
  • Being considerate of other members of your community and not blocking traffic or stopping in allocated areas.
  • Remain in your vehicle. For their safety, students should only enter and exit a parked vehicle that is in either in a parking space or directly on the kerb.
  • Students are to use designated crossings.
  • Follow the instructions of the staff on duty.
  • Let other carers know this information if they are going to drop-off and/or pick-up your daughter.

Safety is compromised when:

  • You jump the queue of waiting traffic.
  • Vehicles are double parked and the girls are trying to walk across the road.
  • Vehicles overtaking illegally or entering the wrong direction.
  • A U-turn is attempted on the College grounds.
