Road Safety For
Our Pupils

safety and well-being of our pupils within and
outside the school premises; and seeks the
partnership of all parents in educating our children about the importance of road safety.
ROAD SAFETY FOR OUR PUPILS

Do not allow pupils to cross the road when the “green man” is flashing and there are less than ten seconds left to cross.

Volunteers) are deployed during school’s peak
hours to ensure order and safety for all pupils.
