staff facilities

MAIN OFFICE

The main office is the core to the efficient running of our school. The office team – Marie Dunn, Karen McNair, Sally Thompson and Cushla Dyson deal with all phone calls, enquiries and much, much more. School uniforms and stationery can be ordered and bought here also.

STAFFROOM

An important area in the school for all staff to catch up with colleagues and to share morning tea and lunch. Coffee and tea is provided for all staff, visitors and volunteers, and is a hub of chatter and laughter most days. The view from the staffroom is one of the best in the world!

student health & medical facilities

MEDICAL ROOM

Located within the main complex this room contains two beds and a full first-aid cupboard to cope with all the usual everyday trauma and problems which seem to go along with being at school. Children who are not collected from the school grounds by 3:20pm are also brought here and supervised, as a safety measure. A call is placed to the parents to remind them they may have forgotten something!

DENTAL CLINIC

The historic school clinic (pictured here) has now closed and dental services are available at Forrest Hill School, phone 410 7361. This building has now been refurbished and repurposed into a new classroom facility.

LUNCHROOM

Staffed by volunteers this Lunchroom facility operates Monday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout the year excepting the first and last week of each term. There is a wide selection of menu items available with different choices offered for morning tea and lunch. If you would like to volunteer in the Lunchroom, please contact the school office on 410 7444.

travel & safety facilities

BIKE SHED

Next to the front entrance to the school is a large covered bike shed with places for over 40 bikes to be locked securely to its structure. Students are taught road safety and there are annual skill and control classes which students are encouraged to attend.

ON-SITE CAR PARKING

The school has two internal parking areas, the main gate being located inside the Bus Bay on Aberdeen Road. There are three parking zones within that main area; with space available for visitors on official business to the school, as well as staff. The other internal carpark is for staff use only and may not be accessed during school hours for safety reasons.

BUS BAY

The bus bay sits between the front pedestrian entrance and main carpark entrance on Aberdeen Rd. During drop-off and pick-up times, parents are requested not to park in this zone, but are welcome to drive through and drop off or collect their children.

SCHOOL BUS SERVICE

Morning bus service commences at 8:10am. Afternoon pickup is the school bus bay between 3pm & 3:15pm.

WALKING SCHOOL BUSES

CBS Wise Walkers is the official name of Campbells Bay School's walking bus. A great opportunity for children to get fit, help cut down the traffic jam at school, and to meet the people in their area. Parents assist, creating an enjoyable walk to school. There are four routes to school. WSB Coordinator: Suzanne Butler ph 410 0086.

PATROLLED PEDESTRIAN CROSSING

Both before and after school the trained Year 6 road patrol monitors ensure safe passage across Aberdeen Road every school day. Dedicated and responsible monitors working alongside parents, are essential on an ever busy road with still many cars bringing children to and from school.

SPEED-LIMITED 40KM/H ZONE

The new 40km/h speed zone on Aberdeen Road was activated for the first time on 17 July 2007. The 40kmh zone operates in the morning from 8.25am until 8.55am and in the afternoon from 2.55pm until 3.15pm. The electronic signs clearly mark the zone. The zone is actively policed to ensure compliance. We are very grateful to the North Shore City Council and to the Police for their support of this safety enhancing programme.
