A Student Parking Permit will be revoked if: • the assigned Student Parking Permit is used for any car other than those registered.

• a sticker is being used for a vehicle belonging to another person.

• the student is seen driving dangerously in or around the school; or • a car is parked dangerously or is persistently parked in the wrong place.

Cars that are parked on the school’s parking lot may not be used for lounging or socializing at any time during the school day.

15.3 Parent Parking TanenbaumCHAT asks our parents to help us to be good neighbours. Please park responsibly and safely in the vicinity of the school.

Parents parking for drop-off and pick-up should use the south parking lot and entrance at TCW, and the designated areas at TCK. Please do not park on adjacent streets or other places where you are blocking access to driveways, or blocking access to commercial premises. TCW parents are particularly asked not to restrict or block access to the shops in Bathurst Manor shopping plaza.

15.4 Use of private cars for school activities Where the school provides transportation as part of a school activity (eg sports, retreats, field trips etc) all students must use it.

• Students, parents and staff should be aware that the insurance responsibility for a vehicle and its passengers always rests with the driver’s insurance, regardless of the purpose or nature of the trip.

TanenbaumCHAT does not encourage the use of private vehicles for transporting students to off-site school activities.

15.5 Procedure for use of private vehicles If it is unavoidable, and students or teachers must transport other students and/or teachers, this may only be done under the following conditions. Permission slips are not waivers of responsibility for drivers or passengers; but they are designed to ensure that parents, students and teachers are aware and acknowledge that there is some risk in allowing a student or teacher to drive another student or teacher to a TanenbaumCHAT event.

No exceptions may be made: • the teacher in charge must give permission for a private vehicle to be used.

• a parent MUST sign a separate permission form for each trip, indicating that they know of the proposed arrangement, and giving consent for their child to be a passenger in a private vehicle driven by a student or teacher. Standard forms are available from the school office at both campuses.

• the permission form must be handed in to the teacher.

Within the framework of school activities: • a student may not transport other student(s) without the permission of the supervising teacher, and without the passenger(s) having a signed parental permission slip • a student may not travel as a passenger in a private vehicle without submitting a signed parental permission to the supervising teacher.
