Kia ora Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

Auckland Transport (AT) is inviting community feedback on its proposed Westney Road Pedestrian Safety Improvements.

The proposed changes are intended to improve pedestrian safety along Westney Road. As members of our school community who use this area every day, your feedback is valuable and can help ensure the needs of all road users are considered.

We encourage you to review the attached proposal and share your thoughts directly with Auckland Transport.

When providing feedback, you may wish to consider:

• The safety of students and whanau travelling to and from Zayed College for Girls.
• The visibility of Zayed College for Girls to motorists, particularly for traffic approaching from Verissimo Drive.
• Whether the proposed school signage and safety measures adequately recognise that there are two schools operating in close proximity.
• Any additional improvements that could further enhance pedestrian safety in the area.

Please send your feedback directly to ATEngagement@at.govt.nz.

For more information about the project, please visit: https://at.govt.nz/projects-and-initiatives/westney-road-pedestrian-safety-improvements

Thank you for taking the time to have your say.

Community feedback plays an important role in helping shape safer roads for everyone.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

On Tuesday, 4 August at approximately 11:15am, our school will conduct a routine lockdown drill.

This is a practice drill to ensure that students and staff are familiar with the procedures to follow in the unlikely event of a real emergency.

Important details for families:

·        Do not come to the school during the drill: The campus will be temporarily closed to visitors

·        Do not call the school during the drill: Phone lines must remain clear for administrative and safety coordination.                                             

·        A notification reminder will be sent out via Skool Loop and email, 10 minutes before the lockdown commences and after the lockdown is concluded.

 

The exercise will last about 15 minutes. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community safe.
