Healthy Food Policy

As an Adventist school, we value our health message and seek to nurture healthy food choices for our students, staff, and our families.

Please make note of the following:

• No peanuts or products containing nuts are to be bought onto the campus as we have anaphylactic students who may have a reaction if exposed to this.

• Prescott Primary Northern has a “Fruit and Veg Only” Rule for Brainfood time (around 10 am every day).

• All food provided by Prescott Primary Northern will be wholly vegetarian (i.e. containing no meat products)

• Drink bottles should only contain water

Parking and Safety Around The School

In the interest of safety and efficiency around the school during the busy drop-off and pick-up periods we ask that all families take note of the following:

1. Parking out the front of the school

Parking in the front carpark (in front of the school office) can be convenient, but parking and walking your child to the gate and then reversing out into traffic during drop-off and pick-up times it significantly impacts the flow of traffic and presents a dangerous risk to you and your child. If you are walking your child to school or collecting them in the afternoon, please use the back car park or respectfully use nearby on-street parking.

2. Keeping the car park entrance clear

In the afternoons, it is very important that you do not park in the entrance to the back carpark. If the drive through line is full, please wait with your left indicator flashing while on Nelson Road. When the line starts to move, please move into the drive through zone without blocking the carpark entrance.

3. Turning left only out of car parks and drive through

In peak times, when families wait and try to turn right onto Wright Road from the drive through, it again, slows the whole drive through down - often to a complete stop. It is also a sign-posted 'No Right Turn' intersection, meaning that turning right is a offence that may result in a fine. We are asking kindly that you turn left only out the drive through onto Wright Road. Similarly, when exiting the back car park please only turn left onto Nelson Road.

4. Side gate entrance

We have opened the side gate walkway again to allow an alternative entrance, rather than going through the Front Office. If you are walking your child to school, you are encouraged to use this entrance. 

Using the School Car Park

Please keep the following information in mind when using our school car parks:

· Maximum speed limit—10kph

· Use the marked car park areas—you must be parked prior to your children exiting your car—do not stop in the middle of the car park and let your children out while your car is still running.

· Look out for little people

· Please keep to designated walkways

· Only cross the carpark at the crossing provided

· The car park closest to the double yellow gates in the church carpark is only for those who have a Disabled Parking Permit. Please do not park there unless you have the permit. There are also 3 Disabled Carparks over by the main church entrance for those with the appropriate permits.

· No right turn is permitted out of the Car Park on Nelson Road. Please turn left and go round the roundabout.

Children need to be accompanied by an adult at all times in our car park.

If you arrive 10 minutes after the afternoon bell the car parks are usually less congested.
