Road Safety

Crossing supervisors supervise the school crossing on Oonoonba Road from 7.50am to 8.50am and from 2.55pm to 3.25pm. Children and motorists are required to obey the directions of the crossing supervisor. 


Children travelling to school (whether they walk or ride their bike) are regularly reminded of the need to observe the rules of the road while travelling to and from school. Of particular concern is the railway crossing on Oonoonba Road where constant, extreme care is required. If your child walks or rides to school, you should remind him/her of the need for particular care when crossing the railway lines. We encourage parental supervision of students going to and from school.

 

Car Parking

The school has a Parent Car Park with parking and a drop off/pick up zone, for your convenience parking must​ not occur in drop off/pick up area.

There is another park for C & K Kindy staff and parents to utilise; Oonoonba State School staff, PCYC staff (OSHC Program), and located at the back of this park is a bitumen area for additional parent parking.
