Travelling by Car
There are 'Stop-Drop-Go' zones on Rigg Street and Windarra Street for safe and convenient school drop-offs and pick-ups. These zones have been chosen to provide the safest entry and exit for students during peak periods of traffic movement so please ensure you use these zones.
The preferred drop-off and pick-up area for Secondary students is the Windarra Stop-Drop-Go zone. Secondary students are released from class at 2.50 pm. Parents/carers are asked to remain in their cars when dropping off and collecting students.
Student Drivers
Students who hold a valid Queensland licence and intend to drive to school either regularly or occasionally should park on Windarra Street or in the carpark of Pezzutti Park.
Woree Primary Stop-Drop-Go zone
Woree State School Stop-Drop-Go zone is at the front of the Primary School on Rigg Street. The following procedures are in place to keep everyone safe:
- Do not exit your vehicle
- Remember it is only a 2-minute zone – please do not arrive early and park
- If zone is full, please go around the block and find a legal place to park
Walking to School
Students who walk to and from school should follow the pathway and use a supervised crossing.
Riding to School
Bike racks are provided in a locked cage area next to the Library – K Block. Students are not permitted to ride their bikes in the school grounds for safety reasons.
Students who ride their bike to school must provide their own lock and chain and lock their bike securely each day. Bikes cannot be accessed during the school day – if students need to leave school early, they are to report to the Administration office. Scooters can also be left in this cage which is locked up securely from 9am.
