PHHS Campus Traffic Jam
For the past few weeks, parents have been frustrated by the traffic jams that occur on the PHHS campus during school hours, and the WTSC administration is also concerned about the safety of students and volunteers.
The WTSC administration has listened to the feedback of our safety subcommittee and traffic consultants in this regard and has decided to introduce some procedures starting this week. The cooperation of parents is important to make this possible
Parking in front of School: Please avoid parking in front of the school for more than two minutes . If you stay longer, that will prevent parents behind you from picking up their children. Please be considerate of other parents and avoid parking or standing in front of the school for long periods of time.
Class End Time Change: PHHS Campus classes are divided into five blocks, and each block is scheduled to end 15 minutes apart. Please check this week’s timetable carefully to find out your class end time. These times may sometimes change due to Kalaiviza rehearsals, and the teachers will inform you accordingly.
Neighbouring Roads: You can park your car on Burrabogee Road, Ford Street and the other side of Binnalong Road near the PHHS campus and walk to the front of the school, a 3-5 minute walk is sufficient. There are also safe crosswalks nearby.
Street Regulations: A request has been made to Parramatta Council to make street signs to consider Binnalong Road in front of the school as a school day on Saturdays. Please note we had a similar arrangement at GPS Campus.
MRPS Parking Rules
We kindly request all parents and carers to park responsibly and adhere to the following guidelines:
- The front parking area at the MRPS Campus, accessible via Metella Rd, is reserved exclusively for MRPS teachers.
- Parking accessible from Cornelia Rd is designated solely for WTSC volunteers.
- These car parks are not to be used by parents, even for drop-off or pick-up.There is a safety risk of students dropping off and pickup in the unsupervised parking areas
Additionally, issues arise when parents park in the volunteers’ car park, blocking WTSC volunteers who need to travel between campuses during the day.
