NEAR MISS AT 3 pm 21st September

*Please talk about road safety with your children - we had children cross the road and then stepped into a traffic stream yesterday. It was a very near miss.

A reminder to you as drivers or people that pick up your children.

DO NOT do U-turns on Wright or Tyne Street at key times (8:30 a.m.-9 a.m.) (3 p.m. - 3:20 p.m.)

DO NOT park in our neighbours or our school drive and reverse out

DO NOT park your car and wait in the DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP-only zone

DO NOT park over yellow lines or where there is a no-parking sign

DO NOT get angry at me, my team of volunteers or my staff for asking you to keep children safe and drive responsibly.

I recognise this is not a very positive message, nor my usual tone. However, we have had several near misses, and my job is to keep our precious tamariki safe.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
