School Crossings Sessions in January
Introduction to School Crossings Sessions (January School Holidays 2024)
The transition to school can be daunting for new foundation/prep students. To ease their first day experience, Frankston City Council is hosting introductory to school crossing sessions across the municipality this January School holidays.
During these sessions children will have the opportunity to:
Meet a School Crossing Supervisor.- Learn about road safety and how to use a school crossing through engaging activities including singing, dancing and story time.
We will be holding 7 sessions across the municipality from the 8-19th January 2024. The sessions will be held in Community Centres & Libraries in Frankston, Karingal, Frankston North, Frankston South, Seaford, Carrum Downs and Langwarrin.
The dates of each session will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
The Community Road Safety Programs are funded or cofounded by the Department of Transport and Planning
Chill Out & Look About -
Did you know about Chill Out & Look About? A road safety initiative led by students from Frankston High School. Created in 2020 in memory of their classmate, Dylan Briggs, who tragically lost his life, this project was created in collaboration with Dylan’s family and fellow students.
The group aims to make our community a safer place for all road users by raising awareness and developing road safety resources (including videos and teacher resources).
You can find out more at Home - Chill Out & Look About (chilloutlookabout.org)
