Parking Campaign - #makingourschoolasaferplace
Created : 26 Oct 2022, 10:38 AM

We, the students and staff of Dominican College are launching our Safer School Campaign. We wish to ensure our route to and from school is safe from exhaust pollutants, safe from danger of moving vehicles and safe from illegal and dangerous parking. You will be aware of the link between individual car use, greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. As a green school, this is an urgent priority for us. Students and teachers have reported week in, week out incidents of near misses e.g. nearly being knocked off their bikes, beeped off the pedestrian paths to allow cars to mount it, and on occasion, an ambulance on an emergency call to the school has been denied access by the enormity of traffic and illegal parking. It has become exceedingly dangerous and stressful for both students and teachers alike trying to enter and exit our wonderful school. We sincerely thank those parents who are very cooperative and understanding and who drop their child close to the school without driving to the front door. Therefore, we implore ALL PARENTS to participate. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT to make our school a safer place. Parking around the roundabout and on the DOUBLE YELLOW lines on the entrance route to school is unacceptable, unwelcome and illegal. Students and teachers wish to MAKE OUR SCHOOL A SAFE PLACE. We wish to make our entrance route a CAR FREE ZONE. How can you help us? Please arrange alternative drop off points for your daughters starting after midterm. Our students will be ensuring that parents are notified frequently to help them to comply with our Safer School campaign. We look forward to seeing a marked improvement in achieving our car free zone on the entrance road ensuring the safety of all our students and staff. We thank you for your cooperation and support in this campaign.
