Dear Families,

Junior School Travel Mode Survey

Next week, we will be sending all K-Y6 families a School Travel Mode survey to help us with our planning for traffic management around the Junior School site in the years ahead.

We would appreciate as many families completing this survey as possible, so we have accurate data to use when making decisions around any changes we need.

Join us for Walk to Cranbrook on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

This initiative aims to promote physical activity, increase independence, reduce traffic congestion around the school, and encourage alternative modes of transportation.

Here are some suggested ways for your son to get to school on Tuesday and Thursday:

  1. Walk: Lace up those school shoes and enjoy a refreshing walk to school! (Maybe as a family or with a friend)
  2. Take a bus: Use public transportation for a convenient and eco-friendly commute.
  3. Take a ferry: If you live near the waterfront, consider taking advantage of the ferry services.
  4. Ride a bike or scooter: We have bike racks available for secure storage outside the K-Y2 gate. 
  5. Drop off at nearby locations and then walk: For those driving, consider dropping off your Y3-Y6 student at one of the following locations:
    1. Rose Bay Ferry (easy access with traffic lights for you and them)
    2. Lyne Park Carpark

A reminder if you are driving, please try to carpool with other families where possible.

Safety is our top priority, so please remind your son of the following tips:

  • Always use designated crosswalks and follow traffic signals.
  • Stay alert and aware of your surroundings, especially when walking or biking near roads.
  • Helmets are a must for cyclists and scooter riders.
  • Walk in groups or with a friend whenever possible.
  • If walking alone, agree with your son their walking route and planned arrival time.

We encourage you to participate in this initiative and make Walk to Cranbrook a fun and healthy routine for our Cranbrook families. Together, we can create a safer and more active community.

Thank you for your support!

Kind regards
Grant Andrews, Richard Baker and Genet Erickson Adam
