Travel to school

Planning your school travel is easy. There are a range of safe transport options to get to our school. Check our location map, driving details and public transport options to help make the journey to school safe and easy.

Location map

We are located at 1 Innes St, NSW 2440 Kempsey.

Use School Finder to confirm if you live in our local intake area.

Catching a bus

Bus transport is a great way to safely get to and from school. For students traveling by bus, there are designated bus lines for each route. Children are supervised and stay in their designated line until they are put on the bus. Kindergarten students without older siblings are assisted by another student on the same bus. If your child needs to change their bus routine, please send a note or give clear instructions. To change your child’s after-school bus arrangements, please phone the school office before 3:00 pm.

Driving and parking

The start and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools.

When driving and parking near our school, please:

• ensure you park safely in school zones
• follow speed signs
• do not make U-turns or 3-point turns outside the school.
• do not park in/across residents driveways

School Drop-Off and Pick-Up

From 8:30-9:30am and 3:00-4:00pm we have a designated drop-off and pick-up zone at the South gate, located after the bus and accessible parking zones. In this zone, you must stay in your car with the engine running while your child enters or exits your vehicle (NO PARKING rules apply). This helps ensure the space is available for other parents. After school, the teacher on duty at the South gate will release your child as you move into the zone. If your child is not yet at the gate, you may need to drive around the block to avoid congestion. If you need to wait or get out of your car, please park elsewhere in the street.

North gate collection

Parents/carers who are walking or parking also have the option to collect their child/ren from North Gate which is located behind the school hall.

Bicycles and scooters

If your child is riding their scooter or bicycle to school, please ensure:

• All riders must wear a correctly sized, undamaged, Standards Australia approved helmet, securely fastened.
• Children under 12 and their accompanying riders may use the footpath unless prohibited by signs.
• Remind your child to dismount when crossing roads and take care when crossing driveways.
• All bikes must be locked in the bike rack located behind the hall. No skateboards, electric scooters or roller blades/skates are allowed at school.
