Some concerns have been raised around road safety during drop-off and pick-up times. The beginning and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools.  At these extremely busy times, it's important that all drivers are vigilant for the safety of all children and parents.

To safely park in the school zone:

• drop your child off and pick them up on the school side of the road
• never call out to them from across the road - it is very dangerous
• always take extra care in 40km school zones
• follow all parking signs - these help keep your child as safe as possible
• park responsibly, even if it means you have to walk further to the school gate
• never double park - it is illegal and puts children at risk
• never do a U-turn or a three-point turn outside the school, as it puts children at risk of harm
• model safe and considerate pedestrian and driver behaviours to your child
• always give way to pedestrians, particularly when entering and leaving driveway
