Pick-Up and Drop-Off Arrangements

Pick-Up and Drop-Off Arrangements

Before and After School

The following areas have been designated as safe areas for the children to be dropped off before school and to be picked up after school:

  • School grounds: Parents may collect children from the school grounds. Children will wait on the Library steps for collection. Parents, please note that the playground area is 'out of bounds' until all bus bays have moved off.
  • Cathedral grounds (preferred option): Children being picked up from the Cathedral in the afternoon line up with their hats on and near the Bus Bay 17-20 line. Teachers will escort them via the underpass to the Cathedral. All children are asked to walk in an orderly way.

DO NOT PARK: Parents are asked to avoid blocking bus zones or private driveways and are not to park in the Police Youth Club Car Park, the Service Station or the Staff Car Park, including the driveway access (located off Dawson Street).

A 'Drive-Through' operates as outlined below at the Cathedral during pick-up time.

Cathedral Pick-up and Drive-Through Guidelines

  • All children must sit on the grassed area and wait for their parents to collect them. (No children are to run off to meet their parents).
  • There is no parking in the middle grassed area of the Cathedral grounds.
  • ONE-WAY TRAFFIC only.
  • The drive-through lane is only for parents of children who do not need assistance getting into cars. (speedy operation) Parents, please do not leave your car. Teachers will direct your child/ren to your car when it is time and safe.
  • NO CHILD is to enter a car from the right-hand side of the vehicle when using the drive-through.
  • If your child needs assistance, parents must park in the "Pick-up Parking" area on the far side of the grounds and walk over to pick up their child.
  • All pedestrian access via Cathedral steps and paths. Please do not cross in front of queuing "drive-through" traffic.
  • Vehicles exit the 'Pick-up Parking' area on the inside lane of the Drive-Through queue (see diagram below).
  • Parents in Drive-Through-Lane have the right of way.
  • Please do not block driveway access to the Presbytery, Parish Office or Priest's residences.
  • Parents who need to park and collect children may wish to stagger their pick-up time until after the initial rush.
  • At 3:40 pm, any children still waiting to be picked up will walk back to school with the supervising teachers.
  • During funerals at the Cathedral, wet weather or storms, children are to be collected from the Library steps. A message will be placed on Compass.

We would appreciate it if all parents could read and share guidelines with other people who might pick up your child and support us in this endeavour to keep your child safe.
