Important Information about traffic control at St Brigid's School

Safety Reminder

Students and families are reminded to be wary of approaches from strangers, especially when they are unaccompanied or travelling to and from school.  If they are approached students should not respond and should not accept offers of rides or gifts.

Students should seek the assistance of other nearby adults if they feel unsafe and should report the event to a trusted adult (parent or school staff member) as soon as possible.

SAPOL advises that taking out a mobile phone and calling the police can deter the offender and they recommend the student make a formal report to their closest police station.

PLEASE use the school crossing Many parents are walking their children across the road and not utilising the school crossing.  This is dangerous for both you and your child and it is an offence and you can be fined $145.

• It is an offence to cross a road within 20 metres of a pedestrian crossing at a place other than the pedestrian crossing (rule 234 of the Australian Road Rules).

Please also note that the required speed of 25 km per hour is the speed you need to be doing in front of the school, again you will be fined and receive demerit points.

Also please pay attention to the parking times around the school, drivers who park in the lead-up to the crossing, make it very unsafe for the children crossing.  We are all responsible for our community, please don't put students and the staff at risk by parking here.
