Traffic Safety- VIC ROADS Most children haven’t developed the skills to be safe in traffic They may:

Not notice objects directly in front of them

Have trouble judging the speed of cars

Not behave safely

If you drive or park near the school take extra care and keep on the lookout for children. Important Reminder- Administration Car park in York Street. For staff parking only NOT parents for the safety of all concerned. Traffic Safety Officers will be in attendance around the school in coming days. Only parents with a sticker for wheelchair access may park in the defined car spaces. Thank you for your cooperation. Ride and Walk to School day On Friday 4th March, students, parents and staff are encouraged to walk or wheel their way to and from school on this day. Walking and wheeling- ride your bike, scooting and skate boarding are all great ways to get around and do not rely on fossil fuels, just healthy food power your body. Parent al support is also welcomed in helping students walk or wheel. As always safety and that of others is first and foremost. Student wheelers may legally use footpaths, but remember Wheelers give way to Walkers, and they walk their wheels in the school grounds. Please observe the laws and rules of the road. Cross busy roads at traffic lights and look out for traffic. All students must wear a helmet on their head as it is a legal requirement.
