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.
