Getting to and from school safely

As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.

Keep our school community safe by:

  • driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
  • being a good role model
  • never calling your child from across the road
  • using the safest place to cross the road.

For parents and carers of younger children

Discuss with your child how to be safe when:

Also talk about and practise:

  • safe travel routes
  • plans for when unexpected things happen
  • what to do in wet weather.

Subsidised school travel

Transport for NSW provides subsidies to assist school students.

  • The School Student Transport Scheme provides eligible students with free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school.
  • The School Drive Subsidy may help towards the costs of driving children to school if you live in an area where there is no public transport.

Road Safety

Mudgee Public School welcomes careful road users. The streets that form the perimeter around the school can become very busy just before and just after school.  Collectively, motor vehicles, bicycles, scooters and pedestrian traffic create a potentially dangerous road area.

We ask that all our road users obey the rules of the road and exercise courtesy and caution at all times.

Wheeled Device Safety at Mudgee Public School

Pedestrians

There are pedestrian entries onto school grounds at the front of the school on Perry Street, side of the school in Denison Street and from the back of the school on Douro Street. There is another Pedestrian disabled/pram access – Perry Street via staff driveway. 

There are four pedestrian crossings - Two on Perry street, one on Gladstone street and the other on Douro street. 

The Perry street and Douro street pedestrian crossing has a crossing supervisor from 8:30am – 9:30am and 3:00pm – 4:00pm.

Always hold your child's hand when crossing. It is recommended practice until 8 years of age. Please supervise your child in the roadside environment until they reach 10 years of age. It is also good to practise to "Stop, Look, Listen and Think" with your child before crossing the road.

Bus zone

There is a designated bus zone at the front of the school in Perry street. Please exercise care around buses and don't cross the road with your child in this area. Also do not park in bus zone during bus zone hours.

Staff carparks and emergency access

These are for the exclusive use of staff only and accessed from Denison and Perry Streets. 

Bicycle and scooter safety

Students are allowed to ride bicycles and scooters to and from school with parental permission.

Students must wear an Australian Standards fitting helmet and dismount from their bicycle or scooter at pedestrian crossings. Students must not ride their bicycle or scooter in school grounds. Bicycles must be stored in the bicycle racks at the school. Students can provide their own lock.

Scooters are to be stored at teacher discretion in a safe place which does not obstruct any doorways, classroom area, or paths.

Driveways and parking

Around our school we have busy streets. Please ensure you park close to the kerb and avoid parking across residential driveways or double parking. Only park in legitimate on-street parking.

When walking with your child, please scan driveways for vehicles.

Drop Off and Pick Up

The Kiss and Ride zones are located on Perry street. These follow the rules of a No Parking Zone (i.e. vehicles can only remain for 2 minutes and the driver must remain within 3 metres of the vehicle). Please ensure that when students leave a vehicle, they must do so on the kerb side via the safety door. Please refrain from encouraging students to cross the road by calling them or sounding a horn.
