A friendly but firm reminder to our school community and wider whānau:

It is a legal requirement to stop for anyone waiting at a pedestrian crossing.

Please help us keep our tamariki safe — especially during busy school drop-off and pick-up times. Whether it’s rain or shine, drivers must stop when someone is clearly waiting to cross.

Let’s work together to model safe, respectful behaviour around our school. 🚦👣
