Safe Around Schools

View the latest Safe Around Schools education animation from the City of Casey.

This animation is focused on School Crossing and is a great reminder for the beginning of the new school term.

With 93 Schools and over 200 school crossings in the City of Casey, we believe these animations will promote good road safety behaviour and outline the rules around creating a safer school precinct. We hope to see improved behaviour around the school crossings from pedestrians and drivers.

Walk or Ride:

This is a great way to educate students on safe road safety practices when walking and riding as well as getting to spend time together.

Walking Map:

If your school has a walking map, grab a copy from the office and use it. Walking maps show the safest routes to school from various directions, with a mixture of supervised & unsupervised crossings.

Park and Walk:

This means that instead of driving directly outside the school, you parka little further away from the school for students to enjoy a short walk, avoiding congestion and parking pressure around the school precinct.

Benefits of Active Travel (Parents resource)

Walking to and from school is a great way to fit physical activity in your kids’ everyday lives. But it does more than just benefit their health – it also helps kids spend time with other kids, have fun, and become connected with the community around them.
