The drive-by “Pick-Up Point” area is adjacent to the Calvary Community Centre.

There will be a teacher on duty at the pick-up point, moving cars along and ensuring the safety of the students. If your child is not at the pick-up point on your arrival you may need to drive around and re-enter the queue.

It is the parent’s responsibility to inform their child they will be collected from the quick pick-up. An email to the class teacher to notify them is recommended for the little ones.
