Uniform Shop Hours
The Uniform Shop will open daily from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm this week. Regular term time trading hours will resume in Week 1.

  • Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 7:45 am – 11:00 am
  • Tuesday and Thursday: 7:45 am – 4:00 pm

Traffic & Parking
Campus access measures have been updated to ensure student safety. Please adhere to speed limits and traffic directions.

Key enhancements include:

  1. A new drop-and-go area at the Aquatic Centre.
  2. Right turn access opposite Industrial Tech for looping back to pick-up areas.
  3. Parent parking moved to face Grammar Hall for safer pathway access.
  4. Chapel plant boxes were removed to improve student visibility.

Parking areas are now marked (applicable for school hours/events only):

  • Gold: Parent parking
  • Green: Student parking
  • Blue: Staff parking

Please use your designated parking area to assist Grammar students and staff in arriving to class on time. Using the Chapel drop-off, Kiss&Go and Secondary Drop&Go areas remain the fastest drop-off process for families.

Please note that the Tear Drop (outside of the main Administration building) remains for PREP drop-off only. Please help us keep our youngest students safe while they learn to exit and enter cars at drop-off and pick-up times.

Please see the below map for further details. We thank you for your continued patience and support as we navigate these changes together.
