Parking

The following guidelines help keep our school community safe and ensure traffic flows smoothly at all times:

• Please use designated parent parking areas rather than the staff car park or No Standing zones. These areas are clearly signed and help protect student safety by keeping traffic predictable.

• Please use Disabled Parking Bays only if you hold the appropriate permit. This ensures that families who genuinely need these spaces can access them easily.

• Please keep vehicles off grassed areas. Staying on marked roadways and parking bays helps keep pedestrians safe and our grounds in good condition.

• Travel safely through the car park. The maximum speed is 5 km/h in the car park and 40 km/h on roads around the school.

• Always stop at Pedestrian Crossings and follow the directions of our school crossing supervisors. Your patience helps keep everyone safe.

Helpful tips for easier parking:

• Encourage children to walk or ride to school when possible.

• Arrive a little earlier in the morning to avoid peak times.

• On pleasant days, consider walking instead of driving.

• Park in nearby side streets and enjoy a short walk to the school.

Thank you for supporting our school’s safety efforts. These guidelines are in place to protect all students, and your cooperation helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.

Walk to School

Walk to School encourages Victorian primary school children to walk, ride or scoot to and from school. It’s a great way for students to build healthy habits and reach the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity each day. The initiative also supports schools, councils and local communities to make active travel easy, safe and accessible.

Beyond the health benefits, walking to school is good for the whole community. It reduces traffic congestion, eases parking pressure, helps families connect and even supports the environment.

Walk to School is supported by extensive research showing that increased physical activity leads to real health benefits for Victorian children. To help make active travel safe and enjoyable, VicHealth has funded 63 councils to work with schools and local communities.

Road Safety Tips for Walk to School

Help your kids walk, ride or scoot in a fun and safe way with these simple tips. The Walk to School program is also a great opportunity for parents and carers to teach children about road safety, stranger awareness, and build their confidence to walk independently.

**Keep a lookout before stepping out!

Stop, Look, Listen, Cross.**

When crossing the road, always use a zebra crossing and follow these four safety steps:

STOP – Pause on the footpath at the crossing before moving forward.
LOOK – Scan left and right for any cars. If a vehicle is approaching, wait until it has come to a complete stop.
LISTEN – Listen carefully for cars you may not be able to see. Remove earphones so you can hear clearly.
CROSS – When you’re sure it’s safe, walk straight across the zebra lines to the other side.

Following these steps helps children build strong road safety skills and awareness—keeping everyone safer on their journey to school.
