Walking
We encourage you to walk with your children to and from school as it:

• Helps improve your child’s fitness and health (and yours).
• Gets them to arrive at school awake, alert and ready to learn.
• Keeps the school gates clear of cars, so it is safer for everyone.
• Helps your child to learn road safety skills and become familiar with their community.
• Reduces polluting car emissions in the environment.

If you need to drive, please observe and discuss with your child the following safe practices:

Dropping Off
• Park a short distance from the school and walk with your child/ren to school. (Help keep the school entrances free from cars to make it safer for everyone.)
• Always park beside the footpath and ensure children exit vehicles on the footpath side and not the road side.
• Always use pedestrian crossing facilities to cross the road.

Picking up
• Park and walk to the school grounds to meet your child/ren.
• Do not wave or call your child/ren across the road.
• Always educate your child/ren to use the pedestrian crossing.
• Always role model good road safety behaviour to your child/ren and teach safe habits.
• Always drive slowly near the school and watch for pedestrians and cyclists at all times.
