TRAVELLING TO AND FROM SCHOOL
After parking safely in the designated parking areas primary school
parents and drivers are asked to escort their children to the school gates
so as to ensure their safety. Students will NOT be allowed out of the school
gates on their own and parents will be expected to arrange collection
of students from designated areas.

SCHOOL BUS PICK- UP/DROP-OFF CENTRAL POINTS
The school may implement central pick-up and drop - off points for
school bus services that are continually late arriving in the mornings or
upon the return journey in the afternoons due to persistent heavy traffic
in certain routes.

For areas that cannot be reached by bus (due to unforeseen
circumstances such as road construction, floods etc.) parents must bring
in/pickup their child from the nearest pick- up/drop-off point specified
by the bus supervisor.
