Here at Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs, we are aware that our local area is very busy both before and after school. We need to consider the safety of all our students and their families given the businesses in our area. A number of our students choose to ride their bikes to school, which we fully support, however we also need to keep in mind the rules around road safety.

We would like to encourage parents and carers to have conversations with their child around being safe on their bikes and following the set of expectations below:

• Students must wear a helmet to and from school
• Know your safety signals when riding your book
• Be careful when crossing the road on your bikes
• Always pay attention and listen to any warnings
• Ride bicycles carefully
• Students are not to ride their bikes through the College car park
• Students are to walk their bike through the College grounds
• Students with an e-scooter must be aged over 16 years

Please take note of the attached fact sheet from the Victoria Police regarding Road Safety.
