At St Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish Primary School we understand the importance of creating a safe and secure environment for our students, staff, families and visitors. Road safety is a fundamental part of this commitment and we work tirelessly to ensure our school community is aware of the rules and practices that keep everyone safe on and around our school grounds.

As part of our ongoing efforts, the Centre for Road Safety, in collaboration with Transport for NSW and Catholic Schools New South Wales (CSNSW) has provided schools with essential resources to enhance road safety education. These resources will help us continue to focus on road safety as a critical part of our students' learning and wellbeing.

Over the coming months, students will learn about road safety in their Personal Development and Health lessons. Teachers and students will focus on key topics such as passenger safety, pedestrian safety, wheel safety and bus safety. These areas will also be promoted in our fortnightly school newsletter. Additionally, students will take part in National Walk Safely to School Day on Friday 16th May. This day encourages families to walk to school together, discuss road safety and promote healthy habits while reducing traffic congestion. Students will also have the opportunity to look at road safety around the school environment. 

We encourage all families to discuss key road safety messages at home and appreciate your support in helping us uphold our commitment to road safety. Together, we can ensure St Francis of Assisi remains a safe and welcoming environment for all. For additional resources, you can explore Safety Town Online at https://www.safetytown.com.au/ which offers fun and educational activities. Students will also use this website to enhance their learning on road safety at school.
