Q: What’s rarer than a Tassie Tiger? 
A: An available Primary School parking at drop-off and pick-up time! Unless you’re one of the three lucky winners of the Carmel P&F biannual car park raffle, that is. These fortunate folk, aka ‘the car space deity’, have exclusive use of their parking spaces at school drop off and pick up times for Terms 1 and 2 of this year. Now that Term 1 is in train, we caught up with a couple of the lucky Semester 1 winners. Nina Shapiro said the reserved parking spot has made her busy morning routine so much less stressful in the short time she’s been using her space this semester. “I feel pretty special”, commented Nina. Caught on their morning drop-off, the beaming Shneider family said the biggest bonus so far has been zipping into their parking space when it’s raining without having to wait.  

If you’ve been crying into your soup over missing out on ‘your’ space last time, don’t despair; keep an eye out later this semester when the raffle will be run for Semester 2 spaces.
