Getting to School Safely
For the first part of 2025, we will be operating from a temporary site while building works are completed at our permanent location. Our temporary site is located at 90 Rainbow Street, Randwick.
Parents and carers have several options to ensure their child gets to and from school safely, including:
- Dropping off or picking up your child directly at our temporary site at Rainbow Street Public School. We kindly ask that you use the Paine Reserve gate (located on the side of the school, through the park).
- Utilising the out-of-hours school care facilities at Rainbow Street Public School. More information can be found by contacting the school or accessing our school newsletter (Edition 5).
- Booking our free Bus Shuttle Service for morning or afternoon travel to and from Green Square. Please meet our staff at 8am at Gunyama Pools for the morning bus shuttle service, and/or at 3:10 pm for the afternoon bus shuttle service.
Helpful Tips
Getting your child to and from school is your responsibility – however your child's school wants this to happen safely every day.
Pick the safest way to school and practise travelling the route with your child, talking about how to be a safe road user.
Keep our school community safe by:
- always holding your child’s hand when walking on the footpath, in the car park and when crossing the road
- ensuring your child is in a booster seat
- driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
- being a good role model
- never calling your child from across the road
- using the safest place to cross the road
- meeting and dropping your child on the school side of the road.
Share this information with your child’s carers such as grandparents, nannies and friends who may be taking your child to or from school.
