Back to School 2022
With the new school year starting next week we all have a part to play to keep our tamariki safe on their way to and from school.
Slow down around schools and be alert and ready for the sometimes-unpredictable actions of young children.
When leaving your driveway drive out forwards if possible – if you must back, take extra care as children may be walking or scooting along the footpath (perhaps even give a toot as a warning).
Watch out and be prepared to stop at crossings – some of these are controlled by school patrols.
Stop and park legally and away from the school gate – it is illegal to stop or park on broken yellow lines.
If you are driving your children to school make sure your child is in a child restraint and it is correctly fitted.

Can you crack Today’s neighbourhood conundrum?
Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?

What is first white then red and the plumper it gets the more the old lady likes it?
