🚗 Road Safety and Youth Driver Education 🚗
This week, our Year 10 and 11 students took part in a powerful and informative Road Safety and Youth Driver Education session delivered by SAPOL.
They also had the opportunity to hear from Holly Scott — a survivor of a serious crash and passionate road safety advocate — who shared her personal story and important lessons about the impact of choices on the road.
The session covered vital topics including:
✔️ The Graduated Licensing Scheme
✔️ The Fatal Five
✔️ Crash statistics and consequences
✔️ Reporting incidents to police
✔️ ANCAP safety ratings
A big thank you to SAPOL and Holly for equipping our students with knowledge that could help save lives. 💛

We’re pleased to inform you that the operation of School Bus 490 has been updated to better support families in our community.
Effective immediately, the Hail ‘n’ Ride service will now extend along the entire length of Frisby Road. This change aims to improve access for students living in the newer housing developments north of Fradd Road.
Additionally, a reduced speed limit has been introduced along Frisby Road. As a result, students are now permitted to hail the 490 bus from any sensible and safe location along Frisby Road.
We hope this change makes travel to and from school more convenient for our students and families. If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.

🚧 Temporary Parking Changes This Week 🚍
With Primary Swimming in full swing, we’ll be allocating a small section of roadside parking each afternoon to make room for two buses.
This helps everything run more smoothly at pick-up and, most importantly, keeps our students safe as they get off the bus.
Thanks for your patience and support as we help keep traffic flowing and our students safe! 💙
