Catching public transport

Public transport is a great way to safely get to and from school.

Catching a bus

Teachers are rostered on bus duty. If a child misses their bus they will be taken to the office and their parents/carers contacted.

Students waiting to catch buses are supervised by a teacher each afternoon.

There are two bus arrival and departure points for our school:

1. The majority of our students arrive at, and depart from, the Jackson Place bus stop.
2. Some students arrive and depart from Bray Street (outside Orara High School).

Bicycles/Scooters/Skateboards

Some of our students travel to and from school on bicycles or scooters. A bike rack is available at the front of the school for bicycles and scooters and locking chains are essential for safekeeping.

Only students in Years 3-6 are permitted to ride to school. Helmets must be worn when bicycles or scooters are ridden to school, otherwise the child will not be permitted to ride to and from school.

Bicycles and scooters must not be ridden in the school grounds.

The school cannot accept responsibility for the safety of bicycles or scooters.

Skateboards are not permitted at school.

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
• do not make U-turns or 3-point turns outside the school.
• do not call your children from across the road

Parking on school grounds

There are three arrival and departure points for children who are not travelling by bus.

1. The main gate on Joyce Street.
2. Students walking or riding who live on Joyce Street side of the school use the gate near the pedestrian crossing.
3. Jackson Place gate.

The car parking areas at the front of Tyalla Public School are for staff use only and must not be used by parents when picking up or dropping off children.

The  only  exception is the disabled parking spaces reserved for parents of children with disabilities. A disabled permit must be displayed.
