Routes have been highlighted to use shared paths, crossings, underpasses and overpasses and to avoid crossing busy roads where possible.

It is a parent/carer responsibility to identify the safest route for their child to travel to and from school.

It is highly recommended that children are accompanied by an adult until they are competent to independently travel to and from school.

Riding and walking with siblings and/or in groups is also recommended.

If English is not your first language and you require the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS), please call 13 14 50.

Catching the bus to school is fun, safe and a great place for kids to make new friends.

Visit the ACTION website for everything you need to know about our school services including routes, stops and times. If there isn’t a bus route nearby then you can put in a request for one, just contact your School Principal or call ACTION on 13 17 10.

Says...

Stay OK on the road

Stay OK in the community

• wear your helmet when riding your bike or scooter

• don't use headphones when you are out riding so you can hear what is happening around you, especially near roads

• be careful around cars on the drive way or road

• stop, look, listen and think before you cross the road

• use children’s crossings when crossing the road at school

• the green man/walk sign means you can cross the road at the lights, but make sure you also look out for cars anyway

• use underpasses, footbridges and footpaths where possible

• make sure you look out for younger brothers and sisters

• know your name, address and parent’s mobile numbers (or that of a trusted adult)

• don’t speak to adults you don’t know

• don’t take toys or food from people you don’t know

• if you get lost find someone you can trust wearing a uniform like a police officer or shop keeper

• it is ok to say no if you feel uncomfortable

• call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency

In an emergency call 000

Road rules and signs are in place around your school to keep our kids safe. • NEVERparkillegally

• Don’t double park, park on school crossings, in the bus bay or no parking zones – it puts children at risk, blocks the vision of other drivers, forces children onto the road and obstructs the flow of traffic

Help keep our kids safe by:• Slowing down to 40km in school zones

• Model safe behaviour for your child – they will learn from you

• Park safely and legally even if it means walking further to the school gate

teach your child the ‘STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. THINK.’ routine every time you cross the road together

one step back from the kerb

for traffic to your right, left and right again

for the sounds of approaching traffic

whether it is safe to cross

The Ride or Walk to School program is a joint Australian and ACT Government initiative under the National Partnership Agreement on Preventative Health, supported by the ACT Health Promotion Grants Program.

Parents...School Services

Road safety is everyone's responsibility

This map is intended for information purposes only. The School and ACT Government assume no responsibility for people using these routes.

If you live too far away from the school to walk or ride the whole way, part way is OK too.There are Part Way Drop Off Points identified on the map. You can park and walk the rest of the way as a family or if children are old enough they can walk the rest of the way alone or preferably in a group.

If you know others using the Part Way Drop Off points, you could nominate a time to meet so everyone can walk together.

Even walking part way to school will help students get physical activity into their day, arrive at school more alert and reduce traffic congestion around the school.

Parents can miss the drop off and pick up traffic too.
