The Department of Education has provided us with the following information pertaining to bus safety.
Unfortunately this year there has been two separate occasions where students have been injured by a car after alighting from their bus on the way home. Both students walked in front of the bus and into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Thankfully neither student was seriously injured, however the situation could have been much worse.
The road safety message for all students is:
Wait until the bus has gone and then use a safe place to cross the road.
In light of these recent incidents, please remind and reinforce safe road user behaviours in and around buses.
