Student Drop Point @ Marmara
We would like to remind our parents that the Drop Off Circle in front of the main building at our Marmara Campus as indicated in the aerial photo, is strictly for drop off purposes and not to park and leave your vehicle. Please note that the parking area should be used if you need to escort your child to any part of our campus/buildings or you are invited to meet with any of our staff on campus.
We will place members of our security personnel as well as a member of our leadership team to help manage the flow of traffic in the morning as well as in the afternoons. We appreciate your support and we thank you in advance for your cooperation regarding this safety matter.
Regards,
Nicolaas Mostert, Head of School
