Bikes and transport

Traffic Management Plan

At Northcote High School we encourage the use of healthy and sustainable transport where ever possible. Walking and riding to the school are great ways to keep fit and reduce traffic congestion.  To support safer and accessible access to the school we have introduced a new Traffic Management Plan.

To ensure pedestrian safety no bicycles are to be ridden within the grounds of Northcote High School. Upon arrival at the school gates, please walk your bicycle to the designated parking areas.

Please find attached a map of the School Grounds which shows the areas allocated for students and staff at Northcote High School for bike parking. These areas are noted in orange. Also noted on the map are the entrance areas for students and staff, this is noted by purple arrows.

The school will also take action to ensure that bikes are appropriately parked in the designated areas.

A copy of the Traffic Management Plan is on myNorthcoteHigh under Health and Safety: if you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact the school.

The school has also installed some new bike parking racks to help cater for the increased demand during the fine weather. These are 'event-style' racks designed to accommodate large numbers of bicycles. Bicycles parked at these racks should be hoisted under the seat, then the frame secured to the pole with a chain or U-lock (as pictured).  Bikes can also be hoisted by the handlebars and secured in the same way.
