Walk safely to Marrickville High School

If your children are walking to school, plan the journey together and practise being a safe pedestrian by:

STOP! one step back from the kerb.

LOOK! continuously look both ways.

LISTEN! continuously look both ways.

THINK! is it safe to cross?

Keep children safe by remembering the following:

drop and pick up children on the school side of the road
always take extra care when driving in 40km school zones
follow all parking signs - these help keep children as safe as possible
park responsibly even if this means you have to walk further to the school gate
slow down to 40km/h in the school zone and stay aware of crossings
never double park - it is illegal and puts children at risk
never do a U-turn or three-point turn outside the school as it puts children at risk of harm
model safe and considerate pedestrian and driver behaviours to your children.

As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.

Keep our school community safe by:

driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
being a good role model
never calling your child from across the road
using the safest place to cross the road.

Talk safe travel with your high-school-aged child including:

Transport for NSW provides subsidies to assist school students.

The School Student Transport Scheme provides eligible students with free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school.
The School Drive Subsidy may help towards the costs of driving children to school if you live in an area where there is no public transport.
