Traffic around the School
Thank you
Firstly, a big thank you to our teachers and Year 5 & 6 students for supervising and monitoring the school crossing on Windsor Grove. We really appreciate your efforts in getting to school early and leaving a little later when you are rostered on.
Sadly, there have been reports of unsafe driving around the school.
We draw your attention to the following:
Speed Limits
The speed limit around our school is clearly sign posted and is 25km when children are present. The crossing has flashing orange lights which are a clear reminder that all vehicles must slow down and observe the speed limit.
Parking and stopping of vehicles
Please do not park/stop on yellow lines OR stop your vehicle over our neighbour’s driveways.
Vehicles continue to stop over our neighbour’s driveways near the school crossing on Windsor Grove and are dropping children off.
Vehicles continue to park on yellow lines, close to the corner of Hillburn Avenue and Windsor Grove. Not only does this create a traffic hazard, it is also illegal to park in these places. SAPOL and local council regularly patrol the area and issue fines.
Reporting
Registration plates are recorded and reported to SAPOL if we observe:
-vehicles speeding through the crossing
-parking/stopping on yellow lines
-parking over driveways near the crossing on Windsor Grove and dropping children off.
Please help us by following these road rules to keep our children and community safe.
