Knows what to do in an emergency.
Knows their bike is in good working order and they have a helmet.

Don’t use headphones so you can hear what is happening around you.
Be careful around driveways, look out for reversing cars.

Use crossings where available and always check for cars (they may not always stop).
Don’t speak to people you don’t know.
Call triple zero (000) in an emergency.
Wear your helmet when riding your bike or scooter.

help keep chIldren safe by followIng the road rules
Obey the speed limit, especially in school zones.
Model safe behaviour for your child – they will learn from you.
Park safely and legally even if it means walking further to the school gate.
Be Safe on the way there
In a busy household it can be hard to make changes that suit everyone. Try and work out a schedule together to incorporate riding or walking to school.
We walked with our daughter to school when she first started. When she got older and knew the rules we walked with her part way then let her go alone. It was just a natural
We’re a busy family so we try and work out together when the kids can walk or ride—sometimes it’s
Part Way is Ok
use google maps to customIse your own walkIng or rIdIng route
1 Select the directions icon in the Google Maps search bar. 2 Put your home address in point A (it may already say your location).3 Put your school in point B (Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School). You can change the mode of transport by selecting the
Driving Transit Bicycling or Walking icons. You can alter the chosen route by selecting one of the other
route options.4 The distance and time are shown next to the route option.
Selecting a route will give step-by-step directions .5 Don’t forget to do a practice run on the weekend.
If you live too far from your school to the whole way, part way is ok too.
Check out the part way drop off points identified on this map.
Park and walk the rest of the way as a family, on your own or in a group.
Nominate a time to meet other people who can walk with you from a part way drop off point.
Walking part way to school will help students get more physical activity into their day, arrive at school more alert and reduce traffic congestion around the school.
Parents can miss the drop off and pick up traffic too.
