School Parking
Please take care when parking at the school. There have been various complaints from parents and local residents regarding unsafe parking and parents inappropriately using the school car park. Parents are reminded not to use the school car park, this is a staff car park only, parents should also avoid parking in Reilly Park. Please use the car park at St Therese or drop children at Reilly Street (school side) so as children can walk to school. This will avoid congestion in Reilly Park at peak times.
