Please take time to read the following procedures when driving
to St Ambrose’s. These have been put in place to ensure the safety of all
children and your co-operation is very much appreciated.
Parents
are requested to arrive for pick-up from the Church car park no earlier than
2:55 pm and preferably at 3:00 pm. A teacher will be on duty to supervise the
collection of children upon parents’ arrival. Should you be wishing to park and
come into the school, please do not park in the flow through
area in front of the Parish Centre. Please limit your time to picking up only;
if you have a meeting at the school or wish to stay and chat please park in
Davidson Street to limit car park congestion.
When
children are dismissed they meet the teachers on duty at gate to oval. The
children have been told they must not proceed to the pick-up area without the
teachers.
Parents
are asked to only proceed forward after the car in front has moved off. This
means not pulling out to go around a car when they are loading passengers.
Should
children not be available at the designated time, these parents will be
asked to park in the car park or ‘loop’ around. This does not mean parking
in the loop to collect your children who have not arrived from their
classroom.
Please
note that there should be no need to park on the school oval or in front
of the garage, which is a designated crossing for the children.
The
teacher will be on duty until approximately 3:10 pm. Children who are not
collected by that time will be asked to wait for their parents on the paved
area under the camphor laurel tree. If parents do not arrive by 3:20 pm,
children will be taken to the School Office and parents called.
