🐾 Friendly Reminder 🐾
For the safety and comfort of all our students and staff, dogs are not permitted on school grounds at any time — even the very friendly ones! 🐶
We kindly ask all parents and carers to leave pets at home when dropping off or picking up children.
Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our school a safe space for everyone. 💙
Why would anyone feel the need to take dogs with them to a school..

We’re pleased to inform you that the operation of School Bus 490 has been updated to better support families in our community.
Effective immediately, the Hail ‘n’ Ride service will now extend along the entire length of Frisby Road. This change aims to improve access for students living in the newer housing developments north of Fradd Road.
Additionally, a reduced speed limit has been introduced along Frisby Road. As a result, students are now permitted to hail the 490 bus from any sensible and safe location along Frisby Road.
We hope this change makes travel to and from school more convenient for our students and families. If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.

🚧 Temporary Parking Changes This Week 🚍
With Primary Swimming in full swing, we’ll be allocating a small section of roadside parking each afternoon to make room for two buses.
This helps everything run more smoothly at pick-up and, most importantly, keeps our students safe as they get off the bus.
Thanks for your patience and support as we help keep traffic flowing and our students safe! 💙
