- Students must not walk through the Staff Car Park.
- Buses will be disembarked in the lower bus bay and students will then make their way via the path into school by an official entrance.
- Students arriving by car should be dropped off away from the main gate to avoid congestion at the entrance.
- Cars transporting students to and from school must NOT be driven into the School Car Park unless the school has issued a permit for welfare reasons.
