Travel to school

Planning your school travel is easy. There are a range of safe transport options to get to our school. Check our location map, driving details and public transport options to help make the journey to school safe and easy.

Many students choose to walk or cycle to school. For students who wish to cycle we have bicycle storage between the Assembly Hall and E Block.

Catching the light rail

Driving and parking

The start and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools.

When driving and parking near our school, please:

• ensure you park safely in school zones
• follow speed signs
• watch carefully for students crossing the road when driving near the school.

Parking on school grounds

For the safety of all students, the school car park is for staff use. The area is an 'out of bounds' zone for students therefore parents/carers and students are not permitted to park onsite.

All families are recommended to use the William Street entrance to Derbyshire Road at the rear of the school to pick up / drop off students.

Thank you for your support in keeping our students safe.
