Please be mindful where you park when you visit the school or when dropping off your children as residents bins have been missed due to the contractors not being able to access them. If the waste contractor has to go back to empty a bin there is an extra cost to council. In 2018 Every student, Every day, All day by 8.55am at QPS.
