Road Safety And Traffic Management
Road Safety And Traffic Management
We take the health and personal safety of all individuals – students, stakeholders, staff and visitors, seriously. All individuals are expected to familiarise themselves with the traffic management measures and to follow instructions spelt out hereunder for the safety and security of all.
1. Road Safety
The safety of our students using roads leading to and from the school is our priority and the responsibility of all. We continue to seek the cooperation of parents / guardians to work with us in ensuring their children’s safety coming to and leaving the school. Parents / guardians who are drivers should continue to play their part by slowing down as they approach the vicinity of the school. As a parent / guardian, do help us to reinforce the importance of road safety with your children.
Thus, we would appreciate parents to remind their children to:
practice the kerb drill before crossing the road – “look right, look left, look right again, ensure all vehicles have stopped, raise your hand high up and cross the road briskly”.
refrain from using their mobile communication devices or reading books when crossing the road.
avoid standing at the edge of the bus bay and / or leaning / resting on the safety bollards at the bus stop.
