Safety at School Crossing

 SAFETY AT SCHOOL CROSSINGS 

PLEASE DISMOUNT YOUR BIKE

School: Ocean Grove Primary School

Location: Presidents Avenue School Crossing

STOP – WALK YOUR BIKE AT THE CROSSING

To keep everyone safe, all students must get off their bicycles and walk them across any supervised school crossing.

This rule applies before and after school and is directed by the School Crossing Supervisor.

WHY DO I NEED TO WALK MY BIKE?

Walking your bike helps keep you and others safe because it:

- Helps the School Crossing Supervisor safely stop traffic - Keeps younger children safe when crossing - Reduces crashes between bikes and people - Gives drivers more time to see and stop - Makes everyone’s movements predictable and safe

IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE

• Riding through a school crossing is not allowed
• Always follow the School Crossing Supervisor’s directions
• Get off your bike and walk your bike across the road

During busy school times, riding a bike through the crossing can cause serious injuries.

A MESSAGE TO PARENTS & CARERS

Please talk with your child about the importance of:

• Dismounting and walking bikes at school crossings
• Following the instructions of School Crossing Supervisors
• Respecting road safety rules to protect the whole school community

Your support helps keep all children safe.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING KEEP OCEAN GROVE PRIMARY SCHOOL SAFE
