Getting to and from school safely
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.
Drive and park safely near Marrickville Intensive English Centre
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.
