School Crossing Warden
The School has three Crossing Wardens working in the busy streets around Rostrata Primary, every morning and afternoon on school days (Rostrata Avenue, near Kirn Close; Glenmoy Avenue, near Prendwick Way and Collins Road, near Bicheno Way). Please encourage your children to use these crossings.
- Follow the Wardens' directions.
- Wait for two whistles before crossing.
- Students must walk their bikes and scooters across the crossing.
Walking, Cycling, Scooting to School
In line with our commitment to the Department of Transport's 'Your Move' initiative, we encourage children to walk, ride and scoot to school to reduce traffic congestion. Bike and scooter racks are provided at the Concraige Way entry and adjacent to the Drive-Through accessed by Rostrata Ave.
- Students must wear bike helmets when riding/scooting to and from school.
- Students must walk their bikes or scooters once they enter the school grounds.
