We're pleased to say most children are walking
sensibly from the school gate to the pedestrian crossing and across the
pedestrian crossing. Remember we enforce a no ride zone from the
pedestrian crossing to the school gate from 3pm to prevent accidents
and injury.
A no ride zone means children are expected for the
purposes of respect and safety to push their bikes or scooters from the
school gate to the zebra crossing.
Recently a few children ran out in front of a car and were nearly
bowled. It is for this reason I ask please ensure your children know how
to cross a road safely, or better still cross them yourself, or cross them
at a pedestrian crossing.
We do our part here through teaching road
safety, but need the safe practice reiterated at home. If your child
needs to cross the road away from a pedestrian crossing choose a
place with good visibility first, look right, look left, look right and if there
is no traffic cross by walking promptly across the road.
