Principal Report
Bradshaw Street Crossing
Earlier this term, our WHS officer Katie Ryan contacted State Growth on behalf of St Patrick’s regarding the children’s crossing on Bradshaw Street. An assessment was carried out during this term, and a senior consultant from Community Development and Engagement, Road Safety has confirmed that the children’s crossing on Bradshaw Street has met the criteria for a School Crossing Patrol Officer (SCPO) and the Department of State Growth will provide a SCPO at the commencement of Term Three, 2023. More communication will be provided for the community in the near future.
