Over term two it has been fantastic to have a few new families using the Walking bus. Even better some of you have taken the opportunities to drop your children off as you have passed the bus along Highgate, avoiding the parking chaos outside school.
The Walking Bus operates every school day from the corner of Highgate and Belgrave Crescent (at the top of Ross St, just along from Roslyn kindergarten) to Kaikorai Primary School. The Bus will depart at 8.30am daily
But just like any other bus we do pick ups along the way. We walk straight along Highgate to the Roslyn Village, cross Highgate there (via the 2 pedestrian crossing) and then continue along Highgate to the traffic light crossing between Selkirk Street and Fifield Street, into Wright Street and then along to the school entrance.
So if you are one of the hundreds of cars that slowly drive along Highgate, simply pull over and drop your children onto the Walking Bus.
The Walking School Bus is a healthy, safe and environmentally friendly way for children to get to school – and it means that parents don’t have to deal with the hassle of busy traffic around the school and trying to find a park!
Every morning adult volunteers walk with the children on the walking bus to ensure everyone gets to school safely.
All children are welcome on the Walking School Bus. The walk is great exercise and the kids enjoy talking to one another along the way. If you’d like to try out the Walking school bus just come along one morning.
Parents are welcome to join in and set a great example for the children or to drop of their children along the way. Or if you would like to help the children please email or text message me.
