The school has noticed an increase in the number of students using motorbike taxis to travel to and from school without helmets. While these rides are convenient, they can also be risky if safety measures are ignored. We urge parents and students to prioritise safety at all times.
Safety Guidelines for Students
- Always Wear a Helmet
- Ask for a helmet and ensure it fits properly. It’s your best protection.
- Avoid Distractions
- Do not use your phone while riding. Stay alert to traffic and surroundings.
- Don’t Overload
- Only one passenger per motorbike taxi. Overloading is dangerous and illegal.
- Plan Safe Routes
- Choose well-lit, safe roads. Avoid shortcuts through isolated areas.
- Speak Up About Speeding
- If the rider is going too fast or breaking rules, ask them to slow down.
- Secure Your Belongings
- Keep bags close and avoid dangling straps that can get caught in wheels.
- Avoid Riding in Bad Weather
- Rain and slippery roads increase accident risk. Wait for safer conditions if possible.
Parents: Please discuss these safety tips with your children and encourage them to make responsible choices. Safety is a shared responsibility
