School Road Safety

If you have any road safety concerns outside your school or early childhood education centre, please contact the Council or email roadsafety@selwyn.govt.nz

The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has a website dedicated to school road safety education. It is full of road safety education resources, including curriculum resources for primary and secondary schools plus competitions, and you can read about road safety initiatives other schools in New Zealand are doing, plus share stories of your own.

The Selwyn District Council encourages all Selwyn District schools to utilise this fantastic, free website.

Kia ora! I'm Sam Sharland, your School Road Safety Advisor for Selwyn. My job is all about ensuring that our kids have a safe journey to and from school.

I work closely with all the schools in Selwyn and my main goal is to encourage active modes of transportation for students. I understand that not every family can choose those options, so my team and I are dedicated to making every type of transport a safe and secure choice for our students.

Let's work together to create a safe environment for our young commuters.
