Parent and Student Notices

School crossing safety

The City of Greater Bendigo has informed the school that they have been receiving a high number of incident reports across the Bendigo area in relation to:

• families parking across designated crossing lines to drop children off at school
• cars driving through school crossings when the supervisor has an active crossing and is holding a stop sign.  

The council has notified Bendigo Police Highway Patrol about the increased number of incidents and near misses.

To ensure the safety of all students, parents, staff and crossing supervisors, please be aware that under the Road Safety Road Rules 2017, whenever school crossing flags are displayed, it is illegal to stop or park:  

• 20 metres before a school crossing
• 10 metres after a school crossing
• within 10 metres of an intersection.

If school crossing flags are displayed, vehicles must stop for pedestrians and remain stationary until the crossing is clear. During active school crossing times, the speed limit is reduced to 40km/h within crossing zones.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind families to please be considerate of our neighbouring businesses when dropping off or collecting students from school by parking in designated bays only and being careful not to obstruct driveways or 

drive-throughs.

We greatly appreciate your assistance in ensuring the safety of those within our school and the wider community.
