Barnes Dance Crossing

There is a Barnes Dance Crossing at the Bankside Drive, Longmore Lane and Millwater Parkway intersection. A Barnes Dance Crossing, also known as a ‘scramble crossing’ or ‘exclusive pedestrian crossing’, is an intersection where all pedestrians can cross on all crossings simultaneously and all vehicles must stop.

This crossing will be operating during school days. The times that it will be operating will be Monday to Friday 8.30am – 9.15am and 2.50pm – 3.30pm. The Barnes Crossing does not operate during the school holidays, please talk with your child/ren about safely crossing the road during the school holidays.

Please have a conversation with your child about road safety and appropriate crossing behaviour. The key points are;

• Remember it is only operational before and after school.
• Walk, don’t run.
• No dancing.
• If the count-down clock is under 10 you need to wait for the next phase before you cross.
• When crossing Longmore Lane please use the crossing.

Congratulations to our Year 6 school netball team, All Stars who made the semifinals of the netball zone day on Friday 21 June. The team did a fantastic job with 3 wins and 1 draw. Thank you to all the supporters who came along and cheered on the team.
