Lysterfield Drive – Let’s keep our community safe!

We remind all drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to the speed limits to ensure the safety of our school community.

School Zone: On school days, please drive below 40km/h along Lysterfield Drive, between Compass Drive and Kalorama Street.

Residential Area: Outside of school hours, remember that Lysterfield Drive is a residential street with a speed limit of 50km/h.

On School Grounds: The speed limit within our school grounds, including carparks, drop-off zones, and the road around the oval, is strictly 10km/h.

Thank you for helping us keep our students, staff, and families safe!

Excursions – Important Information for Parents/Guardians

All excursion permissions are managed through Operoo. We kindly ask that you respond to permission requests as soon as you receive the notification. To ensure our staff are fully prepared, permissions will close at 9.00am the school day prior to the excursion. Please note: We cannot accept permissions on the day of the excursion, as this compromises student safety.

Also, please ensure your contact details and your child’s medical information in Operoo are up-to-date. You can update these details at any time. If you need help setting up or updating your Operoo account, please reach out to Student Services for assistance.
