TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT!!!
Our school is again taking part in the “Auckland City Council’s Chaos at the School Gate” programme. This is one way of working together to make our school a safe place for students and making sure that the local roads outside our school are safe for the wider community. We know you will want to help us in this.
Being in the ACC’s programme means that parking wardens will be assisting us by visiting our school regularly (from Week 2 this term) to monitor the drop off zone and parking around the school. They will be issuing infringement notices where appropriate. We as a school agree to keep our community informed about safe practices by communicating with school families about how they can help.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
You can help us keep the school environment safe by:
- taking care to observe parking signage. Please note that the ‘2 minute zone’ requires the driver to remain in the car.
- making sure that when pulling into the drop off zone you move to the end rather than stop at the top (this allows others to pull in safely behind you).
- moving into the traffic carefully and going around the block rather than doing a ‘u turn’ to travel south.
- ensuring you model safe road crossing by using the zebra crossing if parking opposite the school.
- making sure that if collecting children you do not double park and ask students to walk between cars to get into your car.
- parking outside the yellow lines bordering the crossing so that sight lines are clear for our crossing patrols.
- parking a little further away from school and walking the extra distance to remove traffic from our gates.
- dropping children in safe places and ensure they do not alight from cars parked in traffic queues outside the school.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
