Remember: observance of the following guidelines will help keep the carparks at Lumen Christi safer place for everyone:

Speed Limits and Penalties

Carpark speed limit is 5kmph (walking pace).
The speed limit in school zone Culgoa Crescent and Pambula Beach Road, is 40kmph between 8:00am and 9:30am and 2:30pm and 4:00pm. At all other times it is 50kmph.
Please observe all safety and parking signs. Failure to follow signage could result in a monetary fine and loss of licence points.

Where’s the best place to drop off and collect my child?

Exercise patience when entering the Kiss and Drop Zone and College car parks.
The Kiss and Drop Zone is the bay directly in front of the Primary building (Block 6), on Culgoa Crescent, is the preferred option for dropping your child/ren to and from College.
Parents dropping off children within the College car park must use the Yellow designated parking area which has been set aside for them. This is the first bay on the right as you enter the College car park (staff have been instructed to not use these parks so as to keep them available for parents).
Do not allow your child/ren to get out of your vehicle unless you are actually parked in the designated parking zone or within the Kiss and Drop Zone.
Do not pick up or drop child/ren off in the middle of the car park, or double park at any time. This holds up other vehicles and slows down the progress of Kiss and Drop and movement of traffic through the College car park. This is a particularly dangerous for small children who are then required to move in and around moving vehicles.
Never do a U-turn or a three point turn outside the College, in the Kiss and Drop zone or College carparks as it puts children at risk of harm.

What else do I need to know about College Car Park Safety?

Do not park in the BLUE Delivery area zone - this is clearly marked by signs and needs to remain available for deliveries.

Do not park in the BLUE Disabled Parking unless you have the appropriate permit.
Do not walk through the parking area outside the Block 1 Administration offices. Please follow the yellow pedestrian markings.
Do not park in bus lanes, at the southern and western sides of the College.
Students are not permitted to ride bicycles/scooters through the College carparks. They are required to walk their bicycle / scooter off the College premises via a footpath. Helmets should be worn at all times.
