The St Mark’s office continues to field regular complaints from the businesses surrounding the School as our community is utilising private parking spaces in the different centres when dropping children at and collecting children from school as well as parking for extended periods during the day.
The areas we are referring to include:
- Endeavour Business Centre (cnr Endeavour and Banks Ave)
- Whitford Business Centre (Mitre 10, Better Pets, Auto Masters, Supercheap Auto)
- Endeavour Childcare and Whitford Family Centre
We understand the convenience of parking there, but we ask that you do not utilise the car parks in any of the centres surrounding St Mark’s as the School does not want to tarnish the relationships we have with the local community. Year 11 and 12 students must park their vehicles in the Muzz Buzz carpark.
Our school community benefits from strong relationships with the business community, and compromising this relationship may result in the loss of benefits such as the use of the Muzz Buzz carpark for students and as an overflow for major organised events, plus the multitude of hands-on educational opportunities that arise from the positive relationships we have established over many years.
If we cannot gain the support required to respect the business community’s parking spaces, the City of Joondalup Rangers may intervene in the area at critical times of the day.
We must always be respectful of our neighbours and not intrude on their amenities by parking on their verges, in their driveways or carparks.
Thank you for your support in this matter.
