Safety at the school gate
We are all concerned for the safety of our children at the school gate. Please do your bit to keep our children safe.
We ask everyone to please:
- Use the pedestrian crossings
- Park in the correct place - do not park on the yellow lines, double park or walk across the road in front of our bus stop
- Refrain from calling your child/children over the road outside the front gate
Follow these tips to help create a safe environment around our school:
- Plan your drop off and pick up times
- Choose a safe parking area to drop off and pick up
- Look out for all parking restrictions near the school
- Be aware of other road users, such as buses, cyclists and pedestrians crossing the road
- Keep to the speed limits and slow down when approaching the pedestrian crossing
“Safety is as simple as ABC...Always Be Careful”
We have registered with the Christchurch City Council for support to establishing a School Travel Plan. This is focused on education, consulting our school community, improving traffic safety systems where possible and enforcement of the traffic rules around our school.
