Visit the A

CTIO

N w

ebsite at ww

w.action.act.gov.au for

everything you need know about school services, bus routes,

stops and times.

The suggested routes on this map use footpaths, crossings,

underpasses and overpasses and avoid crossing busy roads w

here possible.

It is a parent/carer responsibility to identify the safest route for their child to travel to and from

school. The school and AC

T G

overnment assum

e no responsibility or liability for any loss, dam

age or inconvenience caused as a result of reliance on such inform

ation.

It is highly recomm

ended that children are accompanied by an

adult until they are competent to independently travel to and

from school. Riding and w

alking with siblings or in groups is

also recomm

ended.

For more advanced w

alking and riding drop off points near your school please visit:

goodhabitsforlife.act.gov.au/activestreets

Prepare your child for independent travel. Talk about safety and road rules by reading the Be Safe section below. Use this checklist to ensure your child:

Knows the road rules.

Knows the way to and from school.

Has walked/ridden the route with family before.

Knows what to do in an emergency.

Knows their bike is in good working order and they have a helmet. HELP

YOUR CHILD FILL IN THEIR

‘WHAT DO I DO IF…?’ CARD.

Checklist

Don’t use headphones so you can hear what is happening around you.

Be careful around driveways, look out for reversing cars.

Stop, look, listen and think before you cross any road.

Use crossings where available and always check for cars (they may not always stop).

Don’t speak to people you don’t know.

Call triple zero (000) in an emergency.

Wear your helmet when riding your bike or scooter.

For more tips visit www.constablekenny.org.au

HELP KEEP CHILDREN SAFE BY FOLLOWING THE ROAD RULES

Obey the speed limit, especially in school zones.

Model safe behaviour for your child – they will learn from you.

Park safely and legally even if it means walking further to the school gate.

Be Safe on the way there

In a busy household it can be hard to make changes that suit everyone. Try and work out a schedule together to incorporate riding or walking to school.

We walked with our daughter to school when she first started. When she got older and knew the rules we walked with her part way then let her go alone. It was just a natural progression.

We’re a busy family so we try and work out together when the kids can walk or ride—sometimes it’s only twice a week.

Part Way is Ok

USE GOOGLE MAPS TO CUSTOMISE YOUR OWN WALKING OR RIDING ROUTE

1 Select the directions icon in the Google Maps search bar. 2 Put your home address in point A (it may already say your location).3 Put your school in point B (Macquarie Primary School). You can change the mode of transport by selecting the

Driving Transit Bicycling or Walking icons. You can alter the chosen route by selecting one of the other

route options.4 The distance and time are shown next to the route option.

Selecting a route will give step-by-step directions .5 Don’t forget to do a practice run on the weekend.

If you live too far from your school to walk or ride the whole way, part way is ok too.

Check out the part way drop off points identified on this map.

Park and walk the rest of the way as a family, on your own or in a group.

Nominate a time to meet other people who can walk with you from a part way drop off point.

Walking part way to school will help students get more physical activity into their day, arrive at school more alert and reduce traffic congestion around the school.

Parents can miss the drop off and pick up traffic too.
