Safe School Travel Committee

The College’s Safe school travel (SafeST) committee maintains a continual process of investigation and monitoring safe school travel; and assists in organising improvement to road safety around the college, and safe travel to school. The SafeST committee has a desire to take an active role in helping to improve the road safety for all users (pedestrians of paramount). Peace Lutheran College Community: Students, Staff, Parents/ carers, Parents and Friends Association members take an active lead role and ownership of road safety issues around our school.
