Sunnynook School

 Travelwise

Lyford Crescent is the main entrance and exit and becomes congested at peak times. At the top of Lyford Crescent, there is a car park and parent drop-off and pick-up 2-minute zone. 

Children wait on the footpath and parents can pull in, drop off and pick up their child if they are waiting. Otherwise, please park further down Lyford Crescent, in the carpark, or go around the carpark until your child is waiting for you.

Road Patrol

Year 6 students undergo training each year with the NZ Police to enable them to operate the crossing on Tonkin Drive as trained Road Patrollers. This service relies on the assistance of Parent Volunteers which is a great way for parents to be involved in the school. We encourage you to remind your child about safe walking and using the crossings.
