- Student safety is everyone’s business
The safety of students travelling to and from school is one of the most important issues for school communities, and the only way to improve the safety is for the entire community to work together.
We understand how important it is to work together with the parent community, neighbours, local councils and traffic authorities, and we are currently in conversation with local government, Main Roads and the Police Department about traffic in and around the School. We realise that there is no one way to deal with all traffic congestion, and that is why we have implemented a range of things to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety.
We have staggered finish times, facilitated a drop off/pick up zone, created a map identifying pick up locations a short walk from the campus and subsidised bus transport to many of the suburbs.
Recently we have been concerned about a number of actions that have the potential to increase the risk of a serious accident.
We ask that parents:
• Use the designated drop off/pick up loop near Sandover
• Reinforce with their son to cross Queenslea Drive with the crossing guard
• ELC students use the yellow dot parking and clearly display their name card on the car dash
• Use the bus bay in the morning for drop off and do not park across driveways into the School
We ask that parents do not:
• Allow their son to exit the car when the car is in a queue of traffic
• Pull up and park across various driveways and entrances to the School to let their son exit the car
• Park in Staff carparks near the Main Administration Building and the DTV building
Please consider buses and trains
The School has subsidised buses to and from:
• Karrinyup
• Subiaco
• Floreat
• Southern Suburbs
The Claremont train station is a 6-minute walk from the School and there are Transperth buses running along Stirling Highway in both directions regularly.
Stirling Highway crossing
Senior School boys are expected to cross Stirling Highway at the lights (observing the walk signals) or over pass. They are also expected to cross Queenslea Drive at the crosswalk or roundabout island.
Senior School students
Parents of Senior School boys are encouraged to empower their boys to be independent and:
• Travel on the School subsidised buses
• Use Transperth buses
• Take the train from Claremont Station – 6-minute walk from the School
• Walk home
• Walk a little way from the campus to be picked up
• Ride bikes or scooters
Thank you for reading and considering the above in relation to your circumstances. We ask that parents are considerate of others and demonstrate respect by following traffic signals and rules.
