Crossing Roads Safely
For the safety of everyone, a simple reminder for all students, staff and families to use the overpass when crossing Argyle Street. For students crossing Main Road New Town, please cross at the lights near the Augusta Road intersection. All community members are asked to slow down, take extra care on Boa Vista Road and cross the road at the footpath bulbing. Crossing the road appropriately is not only essential for your own safety, but also important to positively role model for younger students.
