From Ms Allum

I remind everyone in the School community of the importance of obeying all road rules when dropping off and picking up girls at School. It is really important that everyone drives safely and slowly around the school, to protect everyone and keep young girls safe. Please don’t stop on a crossing, even for a moment! Don’t drive down the wrong side of the road. Don’t stop in the middle of the street and block traffic and drivers’ sight lines.

It is also important that we respect the interests and concerns of our neighbours who share the streets with us. Please don’t double park, don’t park across their driveways,  don’t use the Horizon building driveway as a turning circle, and so on.

I am aware of the upcoming elections for the City of Sydney Council on 4 December 2021. If you are eligible to vote in this election, you could lobby your preferred candidate to gain better arrangements for school drop-off and pick-up zones, and better bus parking arrangements for the school too. I want to be respectful of the needs of our neighbours and their parking requirements, but it is also important that we have reasonable zoning and parking arrangements too. This is particularly an issue with the current restrictions prioritising parking in front of the school over a safe school drop-off and pick-up zone during our usual operating hours of student arrival and departure on school days, and we haven’t been able to get satisfaction from the City of Sydney so far!
