Important Parent Information: SA Water Roadworks on Lawrie St from MONDAY 23 FEBRUARY 2026

We would like to inform you about upcoming roadworks on Lawrie Street that will impact access to the College for an extended period. An urgent major upgrade of wastewater infrastructure is being undertaken by SA Water and John Holland Guidera O’Connor Joint Venture. This will affect traffic, pedestrian access and school routines from MONDAY 23 FEBRUARY until February 2027 (with most impact to occur during the initial stage from February-June 2026).

Key impacts:

  • No Drop-off and Pick-up Zones in Lawrie St (except for students with additional needs)
  • School Bus Changes with pickup and setdown on Marlborough St (655, 657, 658, 659, 660)
  • Limited Riding, Walking and Pedestrian Access
  • No parking and restricted access to Lawrie St throughout the project

SA Water, council and transport providers are working closely with the College to ensure student safety throughout the project.

Please read the below letter from SA Water and Principal, Tony Daley, for a detailed overview and information on each stage of the project.
