Road Safety

 

St Michael’s Primary school promotes Road Safety through their Road Safety Education Programme. Parents and teachers have complementary roles in road safety education. While teaching staff can inform their children about road safety, it is parents and carers who have most contact with their children and can revise points made in class and set them a good example.

You can help avoid accidents by encouraging children to use the lollipop man or pedestrian crossings to cross the road. You can also help by driving slowly near schools and by parking away from zig-zag markings. These have been put down to provide a clear, safe area for children to cross, and parking a car, even for a few moments can have fatal consequences.
