I would like us all to rally together and get as many signatures as possible to show our local council and our Main Roads how passionate we as parents are about installing zebra crossings or traffic light crossings at and around our High Schools to protect our kids.

I have made many phone calls and been given the run around as each department passes the buck to the next “it’s not our responsibility”.

With so many kids at our school now it blows my mind that we have not one safe place for them to cross. Kids run frantically across O’Brien and Highfields Road when there is the slightest break. Or motorists who understand the problem simply stop and wave them over.

Highfields roads are getting busier and busier, what do we have to do to protect our kids? I personally don’t want to wait until something happens before the departments deem it necessary.
