School Crossing Safety – A Reminder for Families
As we approach the end of the school holidays, it’s a timely reminder for all parents, carers and students to prioritise safety when travelling to and from school.
We’ve recently observed a number of children crossing roads unsafely – without stopping, looking, or using the supervised crossing. While we understand it can be more convenient to cross at other points, using the designated school crossing is the safest option.
Our School Crossing Supervisors are trained to help children cross safely and are present during peak times to manage traffic and ensure visibility. To help keep everyone safe, we ask that families:
- always use the supervised school crossing where available
- encourage children to stop, look, and listen before crossing
- walk bikes or scooters across the road
- lead by example – children are more likely to follow safe practices when adults do the same.
Let’s work together to keep our school community safe and make road safety a daily habit for our children.
