Kiss n’ Drop

We appreciate that parking can be a challenge for our school, as it is at all schools, and we need to work together to make school drop off and pick up, as safe as possible for our students and school community.

A polite reminder to please follow the guidelines below to help keep traffic and parking as safe and efficient as possible around our school:

• In the mornings there is only one Kiss n’ Drop lane active. To use the Kiss n’ Drop, please stay in the right-hand lane, leaving the left lane free for Kindy and Pre-Primary parents to access the parking bays.
• In the afternoons, the Kiss n’ Drop operates in two lanes, with traffic then merging to a single lane.  If you are in the left lane, please give way to Kindy and Pre-Primary parents backing out of the parking spaces.
• Often, vehicles waiting to enter the Kiss n’ Drop can cause traffic to come to a standstill at the roundabout at Ambassador Drive and Paddington Avenue, causing unnecessary, and sometimes dangerous, congestion. This is inconvenient for residents and there have been reports of dangerous driving to overtake stationary vehicles.
• If you cannot turn into the car park because it is full, please continue through the roundabout and circle back a few minutes later. Please do not stop and block traffic from entering the roundabout. If there is traffic stopped at the roundabout, please do not overtake.
• Please be considerate of community members and kindly do not park in resident parking surrounding our school

• The bus bay on Moore Drive adjacent to the school is a Kiss n’ Drop facility in the mornings and afternoons.  Whilst this has greatly assisted traffic flow around the school, it is essential that we abide by the rules below to avoid causing unnecessary congestion and to maintain the support of the City of Joondalup with this arrangement:
• Parents must stay in their car. Please do not park here and leave your car unattended.
• Parents should park at the eastern-most point of the bay, so other cars can move into the Kiss n’ Drop behind them.
• While waiting, if you can move your vehicle further up the bay, please do so. This will allow vehicles behind to move up and others can move into the bay.
• If you have been at the Kiss n’ Drop for a few minutes and your child has not arrived, please exit the bay, complete a u-turn at the Christchurch Avenue exit, drive down Moore Drive to the Connolly Drive roundabout and return to the Kiss n’ Drop (view map). This allows parents waiting to enter the bay and pick up their children if they are already waiting. Take extra care around the pedestrian crossing.

Your assistance in creating a safe environment for our students, and preventing dangerous situations for other motorists, is very much appreciated.
