Now that the MSB Centre renovation project is complete and in full use, we are excited to announce the next stage of the College master plan, which will commence next week with the renovation of the ground floor of A Block. This building currently accommodates Student Services, Sick Bay and the Wellbeing Team. Upon completion in Term Four, we will introduce three additional TAS multi-purpose learning spaces, a dedicated Health Clinic, and upgraded offices for Student Services and the Wellbeing Team.

As they embark on an extraordinary journey through Willy Wonka’s marvellous mind, they soon learn that nobody leaves the same way they arrived… Bring your family and friends to see a spectacular show.

Parking
With a large attendance expected, parking opportunities will be limited to the College's external streets (see map, marked in pink) .
There is no parking available onsite at the College.
For the convenience of our guests and to avoid a long walk to the College, the Bennies Bus (39 seats) will also run continuous shuttle loops to collect guests from designated bus stops along Albert Road, Beecroft to the College. Staff members will be at each bus stop wearing high-vis vests, and a staff member will also be on board the bus to assist guests on and off the bus.
Bus Times:
Pick-up - Between 9.45am - 10:45am from listed pick-up points on Hull and Albert Roads, Beecroft.
Drop-off - Between 12.25pm – 1.00pm departing from the Hall Courtyard. A staff member will escort guests to the bus. The bus will drop off at the listed back bus stops on Hull and Albert Roads, Beecroft.
Disabled Parking: Please contact the College Marketing Team on 9980 0401 or email
mblackman@msb.nsw.edu.au

We are anticipating a wonderful morning that our Bennies grandparents will enjoy and remember.

MSB Traffic Management
MSB Traffic Management
As the renovation of the MSB Centre and College car parks is now complete, please read these important 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.
