School Crossing Safety

Safe Crossings, Safe Kids

As kids travel to and from school it’s important for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to be aware and take extra care during these busy times. Following the road rules at school crossings doesn’t just keep our community safe, it is also the law. 

Drive Safely at School Crossings

• Approach every school crossing at a speed that allows you to stop safely.
• Drivers must stop at the solid white line.

• Remain stopped until all pedestrians have completely cleared the road.
• Do not stop your vehicle on the school crossing.

• Blocking a school crossing is against the law and places pedestrians and Supervisors at risk.
• Stay alert and watch carefully for children near schools and crossings.

Travelling Safely

🚫 Please do not drop students off out the front of the school.

This causes traffic congestion and creates unsafe conditions for students.

✅ The safe drop-off area is the bus stop zone shown on the attached map, where a staff member is present. This supervised area opens from 8:30am. The afternoon this opens from 3:05pm so students have had time to arrive at the stop. 

🚫 Please do not park in the construction driveways across the road.

Reversing from these areas is unsafe and places students at risk, particularly near the pedestrian crossing.

✔️ Families must use the pedestrian crossing directly out the front of the school when crossing the road.

📍 Review the map below clearly showing the required routes, drop-off locations and traffic flow. 

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to prioritise the safety of our school community.
