Travel and Parking

Transport for students to and from Riverside ESC is determined by the specific needs of the student, with most children either coming by school bus or via family transportation.

Families seeking to use the government-funded school bus service need to complete an application. Information is provided on our school bus webpage.

Like most schools, traffic at drop-off and pick-up times is extremely busy. RAC comments that "Congestion around schools can make it riskier for children to cross the road alone. Large, reversing cars and poor lines of sight can increase the risk to young and smaller pedestrians." (See RAC article.) Please exercise patience and consideration, using the traffic and parking zones in accordance with displayed signage.

Parking

The school (including the oval) is surrounded by roads on all sides. Curb parking is available in most places. Pick-up and drop-off zones provide safe quick turnover zones for delivering and collecting students. Limited off-street parking is also available off Fraser Entrance.

The staff and visitors carpark via the main gate on Minilya Parkway must not be accessed for pick-up and drop-off of students except by holders of ACROD permits. A current ACROD sticker must be displayed.

There are four ACROD parking bays on site. Two bays are located outside the school office, accessed from Minilya Parkway. One of these is a designated wheel-chair bay. The other two bays are located ar the rear of the school in the car park adjacent the basketball court.

There is also one disability parking bay on Fraser Entrance - it is the first parking bay on this road.

Bus bays are located on Fraser Entrance – parking is strictly prohibited in this zone.
