Walking Bus

By Simon Clarke | Posted: Friday January 25, 2019

It would be greatly appreciated if parents could model the following behaviours...

  • Use the controlled crossings on Wright and Tyne St with your child.
  • Don't park on yellow lines, "even for a minute"
  • Treat the 5min park as a "drop and run" area.  If you want to talk to a teacher or watch your child play in the playground find a suitable park.


HELPERS NEEDED PLEASE

Help keep Kaikorai children active in 2019, the Waking Bus needs more parent helpers who can walk from 8:30am. The bus departs daily from the intersection of Belgrave Crescent and Highgate, walking along Highgate until we reach school. Please text or email Elizabeth to help keep the bus going, 0212314234, or [email protected]

Kind regards

Elizabeth Fenton

Walking Bus Route

To all parents living along or near Highgate, get your children on the walking bus in 2019, avoid the congestion and chaos around the school. Help keep your children active in 2019. Last year we managed a combined 1000km of Childrens’ walking lets double that this year.

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 departs at 8.30am, 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.

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.
