Drop off and Pick Up Zones
The 2 Minute Passenger Loading Zones (Drop Off/ Pick Up Zones) on Primrose Street, Thomas Street and Inglis Street are for drop off or pick up.
Brisbane City Council monitors these drop off and pick up zones.
Here are a few notes to consider for proper use of the zone.
- Use the zone like a quick moving taxi rank.
- Driver is to stay in the car when possible.
- Do not leave the vehicle. This is an offence during hours of operation.
In the afternoon:
- Delay your arrival until after release time. If you arrive early – do not park in the zone.
- Do not stay in the zone if your child has not arrived in the designated waiting area.
- Ensure your child is watching out for your arrival.
- Never call children across the road.
Please inform these procedures to any other person you have nominated to drop off/collect your child. E.g. grandparent, relative, nanny.
Leaving School Grounds
- Children are not permitted to leave the school grounds during school hours without permission. Parents/caregivers collecting children from school must collect and sign their child out at the school office. On return, your child must be signed in by a parent or guardian at the school office. Please understand that we must follow this procedure for your child’s safety so that we can account for all students at all times.
Visitors & Volunteers to our School
- Our school is very grateful for all its volunteer helpers. All visitors to the school are asked to sign the register in the school office. A badge is available for you to wear, indicating that you are either visiting or volunteering at our school.
Student Resource Scheme
Thank you for your support with the Student Resource Scheme in 2025. Resources for the start of 2025 have been delivered (still waiting for a few more scissors and pencil cases, but they are coming) and we will continue to supply students with all learning items throughout the year. Invoices have been sent to all families that are participating in the scheme and we thank you in advance for your payment.
SZApp
We use Schoolzine for our school calendar, Parent Teacher Interview Bookings and our Newsletter. Schoolzine also has an App that we use to assist with communication at Wilston State School – SZApp. The developers have been hard at work behind the scenes over the school holidays making SZApp better than ever. They have fixed some bugs (Push notifications), made important stability improvements and added a couple of exciting new features. Staff have been using it since our return to school and have given it the thumbs up. Below is a link that provides information on how to install the app and we encourage parents to install it. Once installed please select the appropriate groups (eg Year 1). The sporting groups are largely Gala Day related.
