Cars are not to be parked or left in the designated driveway.  A designated 'Drop off / Pick up' area is located along the school fence prior to the internal zebra crossing in the car park. 

• Entry is via Klumpp Rd through the shared driveway with Clairvaux Mackillop College (CMC).  Traffic is to veer to the left then right towards the back of the Church and into the main car park.
• Parents and caregivers are to come to a complete stop, children are to exit the car at this point in a safe and quick manner under full supervision of said parent or caregiver.

Parents who park cars when picking up children are required to leave the car, walk to the waiting area and accompany children to the car. Children are not permitted to walk to parked cars unless accompanied by an adult.

Children who walk home must use the pedestrian areas and for safety reasons are not permitted to use the exit roadway around the Church.​

Those attending weekly morning Masses are requested to utilise the designated parking area.

In the case of congested traffic situations every effort will be made to assist with parking and traffic flow. The co – operation of parents with those directing traffic flow is both appreciated and expected.
