SAFE DROP OFF AND COLLECTION OF STUDENTS

I would like to remind our community about how we can all play a part in ensuring the safety of all students, staff and families when picking-up and dropping-off students at the College. Recently we have received some concerns about choices being made by drivers in The Strand pick up and drop off zone and would like to reiterate the following guidelines:

• Please do not park over the crossing to drop off or pick up children as this is dangerous and illegal.
• Please use this zone to do a quick drop-off or pick-up to allow for the traffic flow to continue.
• If no parks are available, please use the roundabout at Oxley Street and return via the roundabout at Fryer Street to loop until a park becomes available.

Other possible options to consider might be:

• Waiting until after 3.30pm to collect your daughter when the traffic from St Joseph’s North Ward has also dissipated, or
• Meet your daughters further down the Strand to avoid the congestion all together.

Thank you for your help in ensuring the safety of all of our community.
