Please do not park in the Staff Car Park at any time. This is reserved only for teaching staff, OSHC staff and cleaning/ maintenance staff. As we have staff arriving at all times during the day, it is vital they have parking available. This includes the handicap parks at the side of the school. These spaces are utilised by families and volunteers with handi- cap passes only. Please park thoughtfully when using the 15 minute Preschool parks directly out the front of the Strempel Room. This area fits 4 cars and is intended for the use of Preschool parents who need to sign their children in and out. There is parking available along Balhannah Road and in the streets adjacent to Church Street. You are also welcome to use the carpark behind the Institute in the main street (access via Auricht Rd), cross at the crossing and enter the school via the bridge near the playground. St Michaels Church carpark is private property that we don’t have access to. This time of year we also have new parents and families collecting their children at the “kiss and drop”. The “kiss and drop” area outside the school allows you to stop for two minutes between 3 and 4pm. This two minutes is the time allocated for your child/ren to get in the car. It is not a park and wait time. If you arrive at the school for pick up and the bell hasn’t gone can you please do a lap and not pull into this space. A good guide to know whether you should pull in or not is if you see a staff member (usually myself) outside the gate and children waiting inside the gate.

If you see that cars have reached nearly to the end of Church Street can you please automatically do a lap. A good guide to know whether you need to do a lap is if you are past the “25 When Children Are Present” sign. Significant blockage is occurring on Balhannah Rd as cars from Main Street turning left, can end up blocking the road crossing and cars turning right the other way also blocks traffic waiting for all the cars turning left to clear. This means that Balhannah Rd becomes blocked in both directions. There are occasions when only one staff member is available for this duty so it is important that parents get into the habit of doing a lap independently. A big thank you to the many parents who automatically do this. A good flow of traffic would also allow two staff members to be present with the children and speed up the process of children getting into their cars. Please follow the line of cars. Do not overtake and pull in front of others. This enables the cars already there to move forward in order of arrival and then all traffic is moving in the same way. Another thank you to the parents who arrive after 3:20pm to collect children, this enables time for their child to get out of class and to the gate ready for when they arrive, speeding up the process as well. Please remember your child is safe on school grounds and that a staff member will always stay with your child. We are on duty until 3:30 and the rotunda gives shelter for your child as well. In addition, we request that drivers treat Church Street as a one way street during drop off and pick up. I know this might seem like a lot but it does make pick up more streamlined and ultimately safer for your child, which is our main goal. Please note: School supervision begins at 8.30am.

Car Parking / Kiss and drop
In my 25 years of teaching and the numerous schools I have taught at,
car parking and student pick up has always been an issue due to the
large numbers of people arriving at the same time with the same intent.
Therefore at the beginning of the year it is timely to inform parents that
are new to the school and to remind others of the procedures that we
have in place all with the purpose of keeping our students safe.
Please do not park in the Staff Car Park at any time. This is reserved
only for teaching staff, OSHC staff and cleaning/ maintenance staff. As
we have staff arriving at all times during the day, it is vital they have
parking available. This includes the handicap parks at the side of the
school. These spaces are utilised by families and volunteers with handi-
cap passes only.
Please park thoughtfully when using the 15 minute Preschool parks
directly out the front of the Strempel Room. This area fits 4 cars and is
intended for the use of Preschool parents who need to sign their children
in and out.
There is parking available along Balhannah Road and in the streets
adjacent to Church Street. You are also welcome to use the carpark
behind the Institute in the main street (access via Auricht Rd), cross at
the crossing and enter the school via the bridge near the playground. St
Michaels Church carpark is private property that we don’t have access to.
This time of year we also have new parents and families collecting their
children at the “kiss and drop”.
The “kiss and drop” area outside the school allows you to stop for two
minutes between 3 and 4pm. This two minutes is the time allocated for
your child/ren to get in the car. It is not a park and wait time. If you
arrive at the school for pick up and the bell hasn’t gone can you please do
a lap and not pull into this space. A good guide to know whether you
should pull in or not is if you see a staff member (usually myself) outside
the gate and children waiting inside the gate. Unfortunately, if one car
pulls in early, others follow and
we are very quickly congested to
the end of the street.
Recently Simon has had to spend many nights at the corner of Church St
and Balhannah Rd asking cars to do a lap. If you see that cars have
reached nearly to the end of Church Street can you please automatically
do a lap. A good guide to know whether you need to do a lap is if you are

Both the Blue and Red groups are settling in nicely and there are wonderful relationships being formed between children and educators and amongst the children.
We have begun an ‘All About Me’ unit to help children feel a sense of belonging to our Preschool. We have made creative ‘mini-me’ art pieces that are on display. They spent careful time decorating them and they must be seen! The children have also created art-work about their families so they can share their backgrounds with their friends and educators.
Both groups had a very successful first library visit, the groups enjoyed learning how to find and borrow a book in our school library. We’ve had a fantastic time learning about each other and playing in our new environment together over the past few weeks.
