Gates and Papanui Club Carpark – safety

Gates and Papanui Club Carpark

Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,

We wanted to send a separate message to remind you all of two issues which impact on safety, particularly of students.

Gates:

We have observed several times when the gates at school have been left open after use.  This particularly applies to the gate between the school and the Papanui Club carpark area.  When this gate is left open children can run directly out onto the carpark area.  This is a significant safety issue.  Can we please ask that if you use this gate, you ensure it is closed behind you. 

Papanui Club Parking:

The Papanui Club have asked us to remind you not to park in the driveway alongside the school.  When you are coming into to drop off or collect your children please park in one of the marked parks.  From there please accompany your child as they walk to the gate and help them to open and close the gate.  The club have also sent a message to their members reminding them that school students are around and asking them to slow down and take care in this area.

Thank you for your help 

Ngā mihi
