The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter KISS AND DROP ZONE

Safety at The Lakes South Morang College is of utmost importance, please note with this in mind there will be some changes to our Kiss & Drop Zone in the morning on the Primary Campus.

As of the start of Term 3, parents/carers will not be able to access the staff carpark to drop students off. The Kiss & Drop Zone will now be via the slip lane on Lakes Boulevard (See below photo) and students can enter through the single gates near the SDS buildings. Students can still access the single gate on Gordons Road as normal but the double gates in the carpark will remain closed as of this date. As of 8:30 am and from 2.30pm the Staff Carpark will be locked. There are numerous car - parking areas all within walking distance, we recommend using the carparks in front of the school, at Coles or at The South Morang Football Oval which is a short 2 - 5 minute walk to the school. Please remember to use the official crossings on Lakes Boulevard or the two on Gordon ’ s Road when crossing the road.

Our Kiss & Drop Zone works well when we follow the rules. It is an effective and efficient way of dropping off in the morning. There are a few steps we need to follow to make this work:

1. Two - minute parking between 8:00 – 9:00 am and then again between 3:00 – 4:00pm.

2.

Move forward so that other cars can park safely.

3.

Stay in your car to let your child out.

4. Always let your child in & out from the passenger side – never the driver ’ s side.

5. If there are no places to park, go around again until a park is available.

6. Use other long - term parking that is within a short walking distance to the school.

7.

Be patient & observant.

8.

Safety before convenience.

We urge you to teach your children great care when exiting from or entering your vehicle when you deliver or pick them up.
