Bikes and scooters
Children who ride bikes and scooters to school are expected to know and obey all relevant road rules. By law, bicycle helmets must be worn.
Students must dismount at the Wood Street entrance and walk their bicycles and scooters to the racks located at the rear of the Administration block.
It is recommended by the Roads and Traffic Authority, for safety reasons, that only children from Year 4 upwards ride bikes and scooters to school.
Buses
All buses pick up and deliver students to the bus zone in Arthur Street.
In the afternoon, town bus students assemble at a designated area on the basketball court. Country bus students assemble in the bus shelter. All students must wait for teacher direction before moving onto the bus.
Free bus travel
All students in Years K-2 are eligible for free bus travel. Students in Years 3-6 living outside a 1.6km radius from the school are also eligible to apply for free bus travel. Application forms are available from the school office. Special consideration will be made for Year 3-6 students with medical conditions.
If the bus pass is lost, a second pass can be purchased from the local bus depots.
Walking to school or travelling by car
If your child walks or is driven to school, it is advisable to use the designated crossings in Henderson, Wood or Ross streets. These are the safest places to cross the road.
Early arrival
Students who arrive between 8.30am and 8.50am are expected to sit in a designated area under the supervision of an executive staff member. At 8.50am a bell signals for students to place their bags outside their classrooms before commencing morning play. There is no supervision before 8.30am.
Student pickup
Parents wishing to meet their child at the conclusion of the day are encouraged to arrive between 3pm and 3.15pm and wait in the student pickup area located behind the school canteen (Wood Street).
If you arrive before 3pm you are asked to sign in at the school office and wait in the foyer until 3pm.
