Please do not drive into the school grounds between 8am – 4pm, to drop off and pick up your sons.

Students must walk into and out of the school. This is a Health & Safety issue for the school.

Boys can be dropped off or picked up on one of the numerous access streets to the school. 

Peachgrove Rd is itself now becoming so congested that it is dangerous at peak times to stop near our entrance, so your willingness to pick up and drop off further away is appreciated.

Just a reminder to parents picking up their sons after school not to park in the school grounds, and that parking on the yellow lines is illegal and is also a hazard to traffic and students exiting the school at the Peachgrove Road and Argyle St entrances. We have had a number of complaints about “near misses” with students and would hate to see an accident occur.

There have also been complaints about parents parking at the school end of Bond St with cars again parking on the yellow lines and over school neighbours driveways.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation to ensure that our students remain safe.
