SUPPORTING OUR CHILDREN TO MAKE THEIR WAY TO AND FROM SCHOOL SAFELY

It can be easy to assume that our kids make good decisions as they walk, ride, or scoot their way to and from school.  Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.  From time to time we hear reports of children making their way to or from school in an unsafe manner.  Typically, these relate to children travelling up the middle of roads when a footpath is available (Buninyong is getting too busy for that) or children crossing roads in unsafe locations.  Having said that, we regularly witness lots of students doing the right thing, including using the school crossings and the traffic lights to cross the road safely…that’s what we want to see.

 This is a timely reminder for all parents to have a road safety chat at the dinner table.  Please talk to your kids about the best route to and from school and about general road safety.  We’ll be doing the same at school.

OPEN MORNINGS

Early each school year we hold 2 Open Mornings at both campuses.  These give prospective families the opportunity to take a tour of the school.  A team of grade 6s (our Transition Team) are the tour guides on these days, which is a job they love. 

This year our Open Mornings will be held on February 27 and 28 between 9am and 1pm. Please pass the message on to anyone you know that has a child starting school in 2026.
