Keeping our students safe

The safety and welfare of our students is of utmost importance at Sunshine Christian School. The staff keep themselves continually updated and refreshed in regulations and procedures to keep our students safe. It is the community’s responsibility to ensure our students are safe from the moment they arrive at school until they are collected at the end of the day.

Parents are reminded that it is your responsibility to support the school in keeping all of our students safe by showing extreme caution during drop off and pick up times. Vehicles can be dangerous weapons if we have a lapse in concentration or are a little careless. The lives of our students are precious.

Some ways we can help to maintain a safe environment during drop off and pick up times are:

1. Following all road rules, including keeping to the speed limit.
2. Walking your child/ren across the road
3. Parking in designated parking spots only
4. Using the ‘drop off’ zone correctly
5. Showing patience and being courtesy to other drivers
6. Not performing u-turns in front of the school

I commend our community members for taking the safety of our students seriously and strongly encourage these behaviors to continue. Please remember, we can control our behavior, however there are other road users who may not be so attentive to the road rules and the safety of our students. We must remain vigilant as Warwick Road can be extremely busy during the morning and afternoon.
