Celebrating National Reconciliation Week: 27th May to 3rd June
Let us pray…
Father of all, you gave our Indigenous People the Dreaming.
You also revealed your love in the person of Jesus.
In the spirit of the land, be their hope.
Help us all to face the pain of their past, to hear and respect their culture.
May your love grow strong in all Australians hearts so that you can be at home in each one of us.
We ask our prayer in the name of Jesus,
Amen.
[Adapted from a Prayer prepared by the Aboriginal People for Pope John Paul II's visit to Alice Springs 1996]

SAFETY
Important message for parents about parking in school zones
An important reminder to parents about our 2 MINUTE ONLY Stop Drop Go Loading Zone at the front of our schools.
Parents need to be aware that the 2 minute only zone is from 7:30am – 9:30am and again from 2pm – 4pm.
You are allowed only 2 MINUTES to drop off or collect your child during these times. Parking in this area longer than 2 minutes causes undue traffic congestion and makes it an unsafe area for your child and other children at our school.
School does not finish until 3pm. There is no point parking in this area prior to 3pm as you will be breaching the 2 MINUTE zone compliance.
Cassowary Coast Road Policing Unit (Traffic Branch) Officers will patrol our school and issue traffic infringement notices to offending vehicles either in person or by post.
- It’s an offence. You can be issued with a traffic infringement notice with a $40 penalty.
- You are not permitted to park your vehicle in this zone longer than 2 minutes.
- You are not permitted to leave your vehicle and enter the school to collect your child.
Parking is available if you wish to walk into school to collect your child.
We want all our children to be safe and by using this collection zone properly we can certainly help to ensure your child remains safe as well. In the event you are confused about Queensland Road Rules go to http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Safety/Queensland-Road-Rules/Road-rules-refresher.aspx
When everyone does the right thing, the majority of the school can use this area safely, traffic will flow freely and drivers won’t become impatient and distracted.
Our priority is safety so don’t be surprised when traffic infringement notices are posted out should breaches happen.
Should you have further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact the Tully Police Station on 4068 4000 and thank you for helping with this safety issue.
