15.01.2022 PLEASE BE AWARE. Parents have been booked by the Ranger and Police for dropping off in the incorrect places. Over the past week parents have been booked by the Ranger and today again by Police. We have been advised this will continue. Please read the attached and share with everyone who accesses our school. DO NOT - not even for a minute... drop off, stop or park across driveways at bus stops or the disable space on Moverly Rd A particular space parents are being booked is on Moverly Rd, across from the school driveway gates - Please be aware you CANNOT drop off, stop or park there even though the sign looks like there is space - there is an island on the road. We are doing everything we can to help you and keep our children safe. We appreciate the limited access to the inside of the school however this should not be impacting our pickup and drop off routines. You may need to drop them a little further and they can walk to the school but please find a better way to drop children at school. Thank you

Jump Rope for Heart is one of Australia’s best loved physical activity and fundraising program designed to promote good health for students through skipping whilst raising funds to fight heart disease. Why is this important? - one in four 5-12-year olds are either overweight or obese - 80% of students are not getting the recommended a...mount of daily physical activity - physical activity makes you less likely to have a heart attack and can help prevent and manage over 20 chronic diseases including some cancers, type 2 diabetes and depression - Heart disease is Australia’s biggest killer To join in the fun, encourage your students to get skipping and log in their times online. They’ll receive badges for their efforts. The fundraiser is all online so start sharing your child’s fundraising page to get those donations in to win some fun prizes while helping the Heart Foundation battle heart disease. Have fun and get skipping!
