Parents are encouraged to come into the playground to drop their children off at the start of the school day and to collect their children in the afternoon once school has finished. This is the safest way to get children to and from school and a great community building experience, as you will have the opportunity to meet other parents and students.
Entry and exit are via the front entrance between 8.15am and 8.45am each morning and at 3pm ech afternoon. There is also an alternative entrance via Kirk Street or the Church driveway. The front entrance to the school and Kirk Street entrance gates are open at 8.15am each morning, locking at 8.45am and re-opening at 3pm. Our school hours are 8.45am to 9pm, Monday to Friday. All visitors, late students or early departures are required to sign in and out via the COMPASS Kiosk at the front office.
Parents who drive can park their car in the Chatswood Chase shopping centre car park located directly across the road from the school. There is no parking available onsite which includes parish carpark.
Students can also be dropped at either the front of the school on Archer Street, or at the side entrance on Kirk Street. These are both Kiss and Ride Passenger pick up and Set Down Only Zones, which allows a 2-minute maximum stay. Please note that you are not allowed to leave your vehicle if you use these zones and that these areas are not supervised by staff in the morning and only the Kirk Street area is supervised in the afternoon.
Free or subsidised travel to and from school by bus or train for eligible students can be applied for through Transport NSW – for more information click here
Kirk Street – Kiss and Ride Pick up
The Kiss and Ride Passenger Pickup Zone in Kirk Street is supervised by staff in the afternoons only, between 3.05pm and 3.15pm. Students will meet the teachers on duty at the assembly point within the school grounds and are escorted to the pickup area.
Parents have their family name clearly printed on the dashboard or visor to assist the teacher with identifying the students being collected. Students will be loaded into cars when they reach the first two positions in the line.
Please be mindful of the road rules and limitations on how long you can wait in this area. Students who are not collected during the allocated time will be brought back down to the office area where parents can collect them.
