Traffic in and around the College poses risks to both staff and students of the College.  I implore all members of the College community to consider the safety of others when driving.  We can do this by:

• Being aware of the traffic lights on the Boulevarde – students and parents regularly cross in these areas 
• Pick up and drop off only in the designated Kiss & Ride areas – The chapel carpark and the visitor carparks are not pick-up and drop off areas.  The gates to these areas will be closed during pick-up and drop off times to ensure the ongoing safety on campus.
• Stay within the designated speed limits – there is a speed camera located on the Boulevarde to assist with this
• Be alert for children crossing – despite there being designated crossing areas near the College, students may still cross in areas that they shouldn’t be
• Not using mobile phones while driving – If you look at the phone for just two seconds while driving:
  • At 40km/hr, you will travel blind for 22metres (almost the length of a tennis court)
  • At 50km/hr, you will travel blind for 28metres (almost the length of 3 buses)

The College is consistently working with both Strathfield and Burwood council and local police to promote the safety of our community members.
