Getting to and from school safely

As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.

Keep our school community safe by:

  • driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
  • being a good role model
  • never calling your child from across the road
  • using the safest place to cross the road.

For parents and carers of younger children

Discuss with your child how to be safe when:

Also talk about and practise:

  • safe travel routes
  • plans for when unexpected things happen
  • what to do in wet weather.

BY CAR

When dropping off / picking up your child, please

  • PARK the car and MEET your child at the SCHOOL GATE
  • DO NOT double park.
  • Obey " No Standing" signs
  • Allow your child to get in and out of the car from the pedestrian side, not the road.
  • Ensure that if your child needs to cross the street to enter the school grounds they either do so at the marked pedestrian crossings on Mons Avenue or Endeavour Street, or at the CHILDREN CROSSING sign on Bennett Street.
  • Do not Park in the School Grounds without prior permission.
