**Final Information**

Airport Drop Off
 · When travelling to the airport allow time for road works on the Ring Road.  · Please refer to Melbourne Airport Map attached.  · The flights are departing from Terminal 3.  · There is a Kiss and Drop Zone out the front of Terminal 3 – Lu Alessi, Kelly Talbot and Jacqui Taylor will be there to greet children and show them to the meeting point inside the terminal where additional MPPS staff will be waiting for them.  · Due to the large group of students and staff checking in we are asking parents to utilise the Kiss and Drop Zone in front of Terminal 3.  · Staff inside the terminal will be marking the children present as they arrive. It is important that once this has happened the children stay with the group.  · If parents are going to enter the Terminal with their child we strongly ask that parents stay back from the group to make organisation easier for all.
