games!

Parking & Kiss & Ride
If you have noticed we have orange pylons now lining
the centre of the road in front of our school. This new traffic control technique
has definitely deterred drivers from completing U-turns. We will continue with this practice until it
is no longer required.
Just a gentle reminder, kiss and ride is exactly
that. Drive up, open the car door to
have your child exit, kiss them goodbye and drive away. We continue to battle with cars left
unattended, running with no one inside or running with children inside. Please
abide by the kiss and ride rules!
