There was another near miss in the car park this morning before 9am, when a young girl was nearly knocked down by a car reversing out of a parking spot. But for another parent taking quick action, we could have had a tragedy on our hands.

We are making another appeal to all car users to PLEASE take extreme care in the school car park. Please reverse into car spaces when you arrive, when no children are around. This makes it much safer when leaving and pulling forward out of the space. Also, please drive slowly when there are children around. They are small and are not always aware of moving cars. Be prepared to stop suddenly.

Let’s keep our kids safe – especially in the run up to the Easter Break.
