Travel to school

Getting to and from Albion Park Rail Public School safely is an important part of every school day. Whether students walk, ride, travel by car or use public transport, we encourage families to plan a safe and reliable journey that supports a smooth start and finish to the day. Our school works closely with families and the wider community to promote safe travel habits, responsible road use and independence as children grow.

Driving and parking

The start and end of the school day are busy times for pedestrians and drivers outside schools. Involve your children in discussions about how to be safe when walking, in the car, waiting for the bus, riding bikes and scooters, safe travel routes, planning for unexpected events and what to do in wet weather.

When driving and parking near our school, please:

• ensure you park safely in school zones, even if that means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
• follow speed signs
• be a good role model
• cross the road with your child, instead of calling them across the road to you
• do not make U-turns or 3-point turns outside the school.
