BIS Parking

Hamish Sutherland

Hi Parents,

There has been an increase in congestion in both car parks and this concern has been raised at this month’s PTA Meeting.

The primary cause for concern and congestion is employed drivers who remain in the car park after dropping parents who are walking their kids to school.

The relevant parking rule from the Parent Student Handbook states:

    • Vehicles with an employee driver will drop off the family/student inside the car park, and then leave the car park immediately. The driver must then continue on to find parking outside the school area where they will await a call from the parent to return for pick up.

This rule opens up spaces for parent drivers to park and walk their child/ren to school.

Our Satpams are deployed at the car parks for two primary reasons:

  1. To safeguard the passage of students as they walk in and out of the car parks crossing the road.
  2. To monitor who is entering the car parks and be on the lookout for threats from non BIS or suspicious persons in the area.
Please help our Satpams to continue to focus on their primary role by ensuring your drivers are not taking up spaces in the car parks.
The full parking rules from the Handbook are:

5.4 Parking and Student Drivers

Parking

There are two designated areas for parking. Both BIS car parks, like the entire BIS campus, are non-smoking areas.  You are requested to inform your drivers and instruct them to follow this school rule.

  1. Parent, South Car Park (Jalan Pemamoran)
    • Parent-driven vehicles will be permitted to enter car parks and will park under the direction of Security (Satpams).
    • Vehicles with an employee driver will drop off the family/student inside the car park, and then leave the car park immediately. The driver must then continue on to find parking outside the school area where they will await a call from the parent to return for pick up.
    • The driver can re-enter the car park after 8.00am in the mornings, or after 2.45pm in the afternoon.
  1. Staff/Student, North Car Park (Jalan Canang Sari)
    • This car park is primarily for BIS staff and student drivers
    • Parents who have business beyond 8.00am or during the day may use this car park.
    • The car park exit will be closed until 8.00am
    • BIS gives full authority to security staff to permit or refuse entry to anyone based on established security procedures.

We request that all parents consider other users when using our car parks, and ensure that spaces are used efficiently.  Please also drive into the car park before dropping off students.
