One Way System for School Drop Offs and Bus Information

As we head back to school on Monday, this is a reminder to all that the driveway is strictly one way at the start and end of the school day. Can we please have cars enter the Taward St entrance and exit out to Redcastle Rd. There is currently significant construction work being carried out near the office block, so all school buses will be dropping off and picking up students at the Taward St entrance until this work is complete. The Waitaki District Council is assisting with road markings and signage to streamline procedures. To avoid congestion at the office entrance we also ask that students are dropped off by parents at the Taward St entrance and walk up the drive. If this isn't possible, then please drop off at the school gym.
