I would like to bring road safety to the attention of our community. We have endeavoured to work closely with the Council in order to express concerns with traffic conditions around our school. The Council have put some strategies in place to support parking and traffic safety. We will continue to monitor entries and exits to our school and endeavour to communicate any concerns with the Council.

Please see below statement from our Respectful School Volunteer and Visitor Behaviour Policy in regards to road safety. This policy will be released in full in our next newsletter and on our website.

1.1         Roads on Austins Ferry Primary School campus

The control of traffic at a school campus is a school matter, and the principal has the right to instruct anyone operating a vehicle to follow the conditions under which vehicles may be driven, ridden, parked and removed from the school campus.

All drivers on campus are expected to observe the speed limit of 10 km per hour and abide by road traffic signs including parking conditions (time limited parking, no-parking zones, and staff parking).

All bicycles should be stored in designated areas.

If the rules are not observed, the school may withdraw permission to enter the school campus, remove a vehicle parked contrary to the signage at the owner’s expense or any other response the school deems necessary to maintain a safe and functional space for others at the school.
