Reminder About Parking Near the College
Reminder About Parking Near the College
The College has received complaints from local residents located near the Hull Road driveway. It has been disappointing to hear of cars regularly parked over resident driveways and instances of double-parking, particularly around 3 pm on weekdays during the school term.
We kindly ask all members of our community to be respectful of our neighbours when parking and picking up your daughters. Just as importantly, we remind you that student and pedestrian safety is a priority for us all. Unsafe or illegal parking can pose serious risks to students and others navigating busy streets during peak times.
Please:
- Allow clear access to all driveways.
- Avoid parking on curbs or nature strips.
- Park only on one side of narrow streets.
- Do not use the College driveway to turn around, as this creates serious hazards for students, pedestrians, and other drivers.
- Consider an alternative pick-up point if the area is too congested.
We also remind families that there is to be no student drop-off or pick-up via the College's Hull Road entry at any time.
In addition, we encourage the use of public transport options available from the College, including the free Bennies shuttle bus service to and from the Cherrybrook Metro.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in supporting both our students’ safety and our positive relationship with the local community.
Canteen Purchases – Important Reminder
Canteen Purchases – Important Reminder
Students are reminded that mobile phones are not to be used for purchases at the Canteen .
Accepted payment methods are:
Flexischools
Cash
Keycard (physical card)
Students must not ask staff to write notes requesting an exemption from this rule, as such notes will not be accepted by the Canteen.
Please note:

- Any student who is rude or disrespectful to Canteen staff will not be served and will be asked to leave the area immediately.
- Demerits will be issued for inappropriate behaviour.
All members of staff must be treated with courtesy and respect. This is a non-negotiable expectation of our College community.
A reminder that this policy has been in place since last year, and all students have had ample time to make alternative arrangements for payment.
