Important reminder about vehicle movement around schools

It is important to remember of some basic road safety rules around the school.

When “dropping” children before school at carline we remind parents/ carers who disregard this kiss and drop process by getting out of their cars then standing on the pavement, chatting for many minutes with other parents/carers that this is potentially dangerous behaviour. We have also observed children jumping out of cars, in the middle of the road, whilst others wait in the long line of cars behind those parked cars. 

Be mindful of children and their parents walking and cycling to school, as well as those students catching buses or waiting to be picked up by parents in vehicles. Schools can be very busy places at drop off and pick up time, and your courtesy and patience are appreciated.

The 40km/h school zones are in place and are applicable from 8.00am-9.30am and 2.30pm-4.00pm on school days and speeding penalties apply.

If you do speed or park illegally, you can expect a fine and the loss of demerit points.
