Carpark Safety

Please be aware that our College gates do not officially open until 8am and close at 4pm each day, unless a child is in an authorised program with a member of our staff.
We ask that parents do not drop off their children before 8am as there are no staff available to support them in an emergency. We also ask that all students leave our College grounds by 4pm. 
Our college car park has certainly gotten much busier this year. As usual, we encourage all parents to consider the Active School Travel Program where students travel to school via bike, scooter, walking, bus or by carpooling. Should you NEED to drive your child to school or collect them in the afternoon, we ask you to closely adhere to our clear expectations. These include:
  • Use the STOP, DROP, GO area for just this purpose. There is a 2 minute maximum time limit for stopping so if your child is not visible to you, please leave the zone and enter the car park appropriately. You should not be entering this area before 2.45pm as the bell does not go until this time and students need at least 2 minutes to get from their class to the zone. Please note that hefty fines are possible. If you are entering before 2.45pm, park in the car park to wait for your student. 
  • Follow the arrows and adhere to the ONE WAY parking signs. Under no circumstances should a car drive in the illegal direction of our car park. Our car park is strictly one directional and fines will be given to those who drive illegally; risking the safety of other cars and pedestrians. 
  • Be respectful by always driving to the very first available bay at the front of the first section of the STOP DROP GO zone. Do not stop in front of the school as this causes the traffic to bank back which will delay all other families. At Foxwell, we are respectful to other members of our community at all times.
  • Strictly adhere to the speed signs. Our children are precious so SLOW DOWN and do not drive while using your mobile phone.
  • The driver is never to leave the driver's seat if using the STOP, DROP, GO lane.
  • Be respectful to the staff who are providing safety support to the school community. Follow their directions at all times as they are putting the safety of ALL students first.
  • If using the car park, we recommend you take the first park you see and fill from the entry as you may go past the last available park and have to leave the school grounds and re-enter which would be very frustrating. 
  • Consider coming to the school at around 2.55pm-3.10pm for the afternoon pick up if possible. This is a much quieter time for collection. Your child will be safely waiting either in the covered seats at the front of the school or they can wait in the air conditioned Learning Hub. You will find things much calmer at this time.
  • Exit the car park onto Foxwell Road safely.
