Road Safety
The health, safety and wellbeing of our students, staff and school community is of the highest priority. We need to do some reminders about travelling safely to and from school.
All types of travel have inherent risks. It’s important we are mindful of the potential risks and manage them to avoid incidents and injuries.
We remind students who are walking to school to cross roads safely following road and safety rules, and use crossings wherever possible.
With the increasing use of rideables such as electric scooters, skateboards and bikes, ensuring the safety of your staff, students and pedestrians is essential.
Please note that Queensland Road Rules apply to e-scooters and e-bikes.
Anyone who scoots, rides or skates to and from school should:
- WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR AND A HELMET, which is mandatory if riding an electric scooter or skateboard (helmet mandatory for bikes)
- Give way by ringing your bell when approaching pedestrians and overtaking on the right
- Travel at the appropriate and safe speed for the environment in which you are travelling
- Be respectful to pedestrians and other path users and keep out of their way
- Adhere to road rules when riding an e-scooter
- Park responsibly to avoid becoming an obstacle or risk for others
- Take responsibility for safely securing your rideable with personal locks.
