DROP-OFF ZONE
Parents are kindly requested to be patient and understanding during the trying and difficult peak periods of drop-off and collection. Please display courtesy and consideration for other road users when using the Pre-Primary drive-through. Kindly park as close to the curb as possible, do not block entrances and exits and bear in mind at all times that this is a drop-off zone where children are present. Please do not park on our pavements or grassed areas. Your co-operation is appreciated.
Thank you
