Road safety is a shared responsibility and St Joseph's School is committed to providing a safe environment so far as is 
reasonably practicable. We work with relevant authorities and organisations (e.g. our local council, Waka Kotahi, and the police) to provide a road safe environment at and around the school. We also promote road safe practices for members of the school community travelling to and from school.
Road safety at and around school
The board is responsible for traffic management at St Joseph's School, taking into consideration school and community needs, accessibility, hazard identification, and risk management.
St Joseph's School appreciates cooperation from our school community in ensuring a road safe environment at and around the school. Staff and visitors to the school travelling by vehicle, including parents/caregivers and whānau, are expected to follow road rules and school guidelines about driving and parking at or near the school. We communicate our expectations about road safety (including pick-up/drop-off and parking) to the school community at the start of each school year and throughout the year as required.
Reporting hazards
Members of the school community can report concerns about hazards or risks involving road safety and traffic management around the school. Reports are managed according to the school risk management process. Anyone who sees dangerous or illegal driving or unsafe road behaviour near the school can report the incident to the school and/or the police, as appropriate.
Travelling to and from school
St Joseph's School encourages students to be responsible and road safe when travelling to and from school. We consult with parents/caregivers and whānau and share any school expectations about safe travel to and from school at the beginning of the year and throughout the year as appropriate.
