Safety in the Car Park

We have had several concerning incidents in our car park recently, with parents reversing over the crossing and nearly hitting students. The safety of our children is our top priority, so we have placed two cones at the crossing to protect students. We kindly ask all parents to remain vigilant, take care when driving in the drop-off area, and avoid reversing over the crossing to prevent any accidents.

Additionally, for the safety of your children, when using the drop-off area, please ensure they are only exit the car on the curbside. Allowing children to exit vehicles into the road and traffic puts them in unnecessary danger.

Your cooperation is crucial in ensuring the safety of all our students.

The Importance of Arriving on Time

It is essential that all students arrive before the bell goes at 8:50 am. Unfortunately, we have noticed an increasing number of students arriving late, which disrupts the class and makes it harder for everyone to settle into the day. When a child arrives late, they miss important instructions and activities that set the tone for the day, leaving them feeling unsettled and behind their peers. We encourage parents to ensure their children are at school on time, ready to begin learning and participate fully from the start of the school day.

If you're struggling at home with getting your child to school on time, talk to us! Our Lady of Kāpiti School is committed to supporting your child to attend school regularly and building a culture that fosters excellent attendance.

Just a little bit late doesn’t seem much but….
