Student and Family Safety

Keeping Our Children Safe at School: A Shared Responsibility

At Highton Primary our top priority is the safety and well-being of all students. We believe this is a responsibility shared by the entire school community, including parents and carers.

Working Together for a Smooth Drop-off and Pick-up:

• Parking and Traffic Flow: To ensure a safe and efficient environment, we kindly ask everyone to:
  • Avoid parking in the two-minute zone and leaving your car. Doing so creates congestion on Roslyn Road, increasing the risk of accidents.
  • If your child isn't immediately visible at the front gate, please consider parking your car and walking to pick them up. Alternatively, drive around the block.
  • Please refrain from dropping off or picking up students within the carpark. Walking through this area poses a significant safety risk for students.

Alternative Options:

• Consider parking further away and walking with your child to and from school. This can be a healthy and enjoyable way to start or end the day.
• For older students, arrange to meet them at a designated spot outside the school, such as across the designated school crossing or further up Roslyn Road.

Ensuring Student Safety:

• Please ensure your child exits and enters the car from the curb side door. This minimizes the risk of accidents near moving traffic.
