GLEN EIRA COUNCIL MESSAGE 

Hello, all School Communities in the Glen Eira Municipality,

 

As we approach the end of the school year the roads, parking and school crossings surrounding your school are very busy.  

 

Glen Eira Council has created a short, animated video which was shared with you all in February this year.  This video was created to be passed on to your school parents and community.  

 

It is a fabulous two and half minute video that explains parking signs, how the school crossing operates and aims to promote safety surrounding your schools.  It encourages students to walk or ride to school too, even if only from a few blocks away, to help ease traffic congestion, improve healthy activity and to help the environment.

 

We would appreciate your support in distributing the video to your school community, whether it be at assembly, on your website, in your newsletter, wherever you see fit.
