As the renovation of the MSB Centre and College car parks is now complete, please read these traffic management safety reminders.
1. Restricted Vehicle Access to College Grounds:
-
Please do not enter the College grounds by car or block access to the College driveways on Pennant Hills Road and Hull Road between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm.
- The Hull Road driveway is close to the corner of Pennant Hills Road, and staff and students regularly access this entry. Please do not use this driveway to turn around at any time.
2. Parking Regulations:
- There is no parking access on College grounds during the school day unless prior approval has been given.
3. Safe Drop-Off and Pick-Up Areas:
-
Safe drop-off or pick-up areas include Hull Road, Loftus Road, Wilson Road, and the designated pick-up and drop-off zone on Killaloe Ave, Pennant Hills (at the rear of the North Connex depot).
-
Students must use the pedestrian access bridge to cross Pennant Hills Road.
- Students arriving at the bus stop on Pennant Hills Road must use the zebra crossing to access the College. Students must not walk across the College's main driveway on Pennant Hills Road, as drivers have limited visibility.
- Students are not to be dropped off on the College side of Beecroft Road or on Pennant Hills Road at any time, as this is highly dangerous and breaks the road rules.
- Please be considerate of residential driveways when dropping off and picking up students and parking.
4. Use of Public Transport:
- Students are encouraged to use public transport for travel to and from the College. The College also operates some private bus services and a shuttle to and from the Cherrybrook Metro Station.
5 . Consideration for Local Community:
- When driving is necessary, senior students are advised to be considerate of the local community when parking in residential areas.
We ask for your continued support with the measures the College has taken to ensure student and staff safety and the management of traffic.
