Traffic Safety in and Around the College

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have recently updated the signage around the College roadway to ensure the safety of all of the members of our College community, especially our students.

Please find the updates below:

  • There are clear signs to indicate the 10km/h speed limit and painted arrows on the road to indicate the direction that all cars should be going.

Morning Drop Off inside the College – We ask parents to move their car to the furthest point of the drop off zone to ensure as many cars as possible can come into the College ensuring traffic flow is not stopped or interrupted.  When parents park their cars nearest the gates this causes traffic jams on Hamilton and Bulls roads.  Please also check your mirrors when leaving to prevent any collisions and stick to the 10km/h speed limit within College grounds.  Students are to exit the vehicle from the passenger side only.

Below are images of the roadway signs and painted arrows.  Please take note of the following:

  1. Speed limit sign and a reminder that there is no double parking/set down allowed
  2. From the first staff carpark (nearest the entrance gate), left turn only is permitted
  3. Please follow the direction arrows on the roadway
  4. Left or right turn is permitted either towards the hall carpark (left) or towards the exit gate (right)
  5. Please stop at the line to trigger the exit gate (if it is closed)

Below is an ongoing reminder to parents/carers dropping off or picking up students on nearby streets around the College, regarding traffic safety, to ensure your daughter and all members of our community are kept safe:

 

Speed Limit – A reminder that during the times listed on the school zone signs, 40km/h speed limits apply.   We ask all parents to ensure you are vigilant with your speed and stick to the speed limit within our school zone all times.

 

 

 

 

Safe drop off – Please observe the road and parking rules to ensure you are dropping off or picking up your daughter in the correctly marked zones.  Parents are not permitted to park or stop at any time in a No Stopping Zone.  Particularly in Carnarvon Street as this blocks buses from entering of an afternoon preventing our students from getting home at a reasonable time.

 

 

Pickup and Drop Off Zones – A reminder that these zones can only be used for a quick pick up or drop off only.  The following applies:

  • maximum stop time is two (2) minutes
  • driver must remain in or within a vehicle
  • vehicle must not be left unattended
  • zone applies only during hours of operation

 

 

Police and Council Rangers regularly patrol the area around our College.  Please ensure you observe all road and parking rulesThese reminders are in place to ensure the safety of all members of our College community.  We thank all parents for your continued support and care of our students.  Please contact the College if you have any questions or concerns.
