I am pleased to be able 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 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.
