Principal News
Dear Parents, Staff and Students,
Welcome to mid-term of Term 1. At assembly this week, I commended our students on the pride they are taking in wearing their school uniforms, their behavioural interactions with each other in all learning environments and especially their attentiveness in being curious thinkers when learning. The energy and enthusiasm that flows throughout our school during the day is tremendous from both staff and students. It is a pleasure to walk throughout the classrooms and witness the great learning happening.
Carpark Safety:
Look out! Look out, there are children about!
Respect and care for safety outweighs convenience every time. We really need your help. The staff and I really love to welcome the children as they arrive at school and wish them a great afternoon as they go home. We love the smiles on their faces, their enthusiasm and the fact that they have arrived safely and leave safely. The traffic around St Saviour’s Primary School can be potentially dangerous and I am imploring every parent to drive in a manner that is protective of every child and member of the public. Convenience should not be more important than respect and care when driving around the school precinct.
Please obey the road rules as it has been reported by several concerned parents and our crossing supervisors that the following are occurring way too often and causing grave danger to our young children:
A few parents are parking in unmarked places such as on the footpath near the Cathedral Centre and then reversing towards children who are walking across the pedestrian crossing. This must stop before a child is hurt.
Parking in front of the fire hydrants in the Toowoomba Catholic Schools carpark is illegal. This area needs to remain free from cars parking.
Cars parking or pulling over to the side in the signed ‘No Standing” area at the pedestrian crossing.
The Cathedral Centre Carpark, Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office carpark and marked Lawrence St parking are all available for our families. We are all responsible for the safety of community, especially our children.
Your support in this matter is greatly appreciated.
