Dear Parents and Carers,
Finding a parking spot for school drop-off and pick up is challenging for most Perth metropolitan schools. Tuart Hill Primary School is fortunate to have a Kiss & Drive zone, which, if used correctly, significantly reduces the demand for parking spots around the school.
Our community can help each other to use the Kiss & Drive zone in a manner that encourages traffic flow.
When using the Kiss & Drive you need to:
- Drive to the furthest available space in the marked area
- Move forward as cars leave with their children. Keep Kiss & Drive moving.
- Move on as soon as your child has exited or entered the vehicle. Buckle up quickly.
- Make sure your vehicle is not blocking the Disabled Parking Bay
- Circle the block and try again if no spots are available or the child you are collecting has not arrived. Never double-park.
- Asking your child to cross the road for you to pick up on residential verges is highly discouraged. Pick-up traffic is so busy and potentially unpredictable – you are risking your child’s life, and you give the rest of us anxiety attacks, if you beckon them across to you. Please join the queue and circle around to pick up on the correct side.
Thank you for observing all council regulations when using the Kiss and Drive so that school drop-offs and pick-ups are safe and stress-free for every member of our school community. While it may seem that Kiss & Drive is a maelstrom of cars and students, it always clears in a few short minutes once the students flock out of class.
Thank you for your care and patience. Keep Kiss & Drive moving, slowly with courtesy. Turn left at Riley Street then right at Lawley Street when entering Banksia Street to see if your child has made it out to Kiss & Drive.
Thank you. Let’s work together to keep our students safe, obey Council regulations and be courteous.
Kind regards,
Beverly Innes
Principal
