We’ve been working with NZTA and Christchurch City Council to push for safety improvements — especially at the Burwood Rd/QEII Drive/Travis Road and Burwood/Mairehau Roads intersections, as well as directly outside of school.
One of the biggest roadblocks is that both NZTA and CCC need more data to back up making changes.
This is where you can help!
If you’ve witnessed or been involved in any accidents or near misses in these areas, please email us at:
office@waitakiri.school.nz
Or please phone our school office 03 383 2736 anytime (you can leave a message).
Your experiences can help us make a strong case for change.
Thanks so much for your support — every bit of info helps make our roads safer for our kids.

The July school holidays start tomorrow, with school returning on Monday 23 July. We welcome our community and families to visit our school during daylight hours and make the most of the fantastic play areas we have. We do recommend an adult to be with children at all times. By having community here enjoying the school grounds, it wards off those who may not do the right thing. We also ask our fantastic neighbours to please keep an eye on our school, and if you see or hear anything suspicious please contact the police immediately. If you need to contact us with a non urgent matter, please email office@waitakiri.school.nz. Thank you.
