Stop, Drop and Go Zone
Drop Off and New Pick up - Video Demo
Please take a moment to view our student-produced video (click here for the link) that demonstrates how the zone works for parents using the before school drop-off and after school pick-up.
The Boom Gates will be closed from 7:45am. Before school care parents are typically here before this time and therefore will be able to enter the school via Ironbark Road, as usual. Instrumental music students have before school rehearsal days (starting by 7:45am) and so parents will be able to use the Turning Circle as usual (so long as they arrive before 7:45am). Parents may choose to continue to use the on-street drop-off/pick-up area along Ironbark Road.
The Boom Gates
The boom gates are currently in the open position. From Thursday 27 March, the entry boom gates will be open from 6:30am - 7:45am. After this time both gates will be automatically lowered thereby restricting entry into the school grounds.
- Exiting the school when the boom gate is closed.
A car can exit the school by slowly approaching the lowered boom gate and it will automatically open to allow the vehicle to leave the school grounds. - Entering the school when the boom gate is closed.
There will be very little opportunity to drive into the school grounds during times when students are on site. If there is a special need to enter the school – there is a comms button to press and an Admin Officer will assist via the speaker system. Special circumstances may require some drivers to have their own access code to enter (e.g. student with a broken foot).
