Children Crossings
The Florence Street Children's Crossing (in front of the school)
is staffed from 8.15am to 9.15am and from 3.15pm to 4.00pm on school
days.
 |
Children MUST use this crossing before
and after school (if they are crossing Florence
Street). It is dangerous for children to cross the
street at other parts of Florence Street, particularly
in congested before and after school traffic conditions. |
There have been some 'close calls' already this year with
children darting across the street between cars.
Please stress the importance of the correct use of the children's
crossing with your family members.
Parking Restrictions
Parents and visitors are reminded of the parking restrictions in
Florence Street (in front of our school).
Please observe the signs
 |
The 'No Stopping' sign on the eastern
side of Florence Street means you are only permitted to
stop when forced by traffic conditions (for example, a
queue of traffic). Please note the time of the
operation on the sign - 8am to 9am and 3pm to 4pm - on
school days. |
Five Minute Drop-Off and Pick-Up Zone
Parents are reminded of the 'five minute'
drop-off and pick-up parking zone on the school side of Florence
Street (past the children's crossing). This limited parking
area is intended to provide parents with the opportunity
to safely, quickly and legally drop their child off in front of the
school and then move on, enabling the next parent's car to do the
same.
But, if someone parks for an extended period in this zone, the
'rotation' concept collapses and parents are forced to seek
alternative parking opportunities usually far from the school gate.
| Please help to protect the safety of our students
by complying with the road rules. And remember, the
area is regularly patrolled by City of Whitehorse
By-Laws Officers who will impose substantial fines
($100+) for breaches of these rules. |
