A very important reminder to all parents who drive their children to James Fallon High or pick them up after school.

We have established separate entrances for all pedestrians, and this especially applies to students to ensure their safety arriving and leaving school each day. Unfortunately some parents are putting their own children at risk by dropping them off in car movement areas.

The main carpark and driveways are used each morning and afternoon by delivery and service vehicles, special taxis transporting our special needs students, school visitors, disabled students, cyclists and staff vehicles. Stopping a car and picking up or dropping a child off in the school driveway or carpark areas is very dangerous for the child during school opening and closing times, and may also cause a car accident for which your car insurance may not cover you.

We have requested many times that children are not dropped off or picked up in the car park or on driveways at the start or end of school. Once again we request, for the safety of our students and your own children, all parents to use the parking and crossing areas in Fallon and Glenly Streets, and not to enter the school carpark/driveways to drop off or pick up students unless there are special health circumstances requiring this.

Thank you for supporting student safety in our school. Please direct any special requests to our Principal.

A reminder to parents that there are significant fines and loss of demerit points for all driving offences occurring in school zones. We are committed to providing a safe environment for all our students and visitors, so please observe the 40km/h speed limit during school hours and stop in designated drop off areas only.  

The RTA have published a pamphlet describing the road rules relating to school safety zones and the penalties that apply for infringing the rules. You can view a copy of the pamphlet by clicking on the following link:
