Parking around the School
School zones are areas around schools where, during certain times, reduced speed limits apply. Speed limits
and drop-off and pickup and parking rules exist to keep children, parents and carers safe and to minimise speed
and traffic jams around schools.
Drop-off and pick-up areas
Drop-off and pick-up areas on Wewak Street are signed with Loading Zone 2 minute
maximum. These signs mean you have a maximum of 2 minutes to drop off or collect your
children. These areas are where parking is not allowed – but where you
can drop-off and collect your children in a safe way.
Parents & caregivers are
welcome to attend!

Cultural Day at TBSS
This year Cultural Day will be held on Tuesday 28 March to coincide with
Harmony Day. It “celebrates Australia’s cultural diversity. It’s about inclusiveness,
respect and a sense of belonging for everyone. It is a day for all Australians to
embrace cultural diversity and to share what we have in common. The central
message for Harmony Day is that ‘everyone belongs’, reinforcing the importance
of inclusiveness to all Australians”.
If you are keen to organise an item/dance for cultural day please email [email protected] as soon as possible.
