Community urge motorist to drive safe in school zones

With the school year now in full swing, the City of Canterbury Bankstown are reminding motorists why it’s important to take extra care in and around school zones.With over 55,000 school students in Canterbury-Bankstown it’s critical that we keep everyone of them safe travelling to and from school.Local school principal, Rene Demof, said road safety is not just about motorists following the road rules, but also teaching children safe practices.“We try to be proactive in reducing the number of school zone offences… every morning and afternoon our staff are monitoring the drop-off and pick-up zones and reminding parents of the rules.
