School Crossing Safety Awareness Day
Friday 6 February 2026 is School Crossing Safety Awareness Day, held each year on the first Friday in February across Victoria.
This important day recognises the vital role School Crossing Supervisors play in keeping children, families and all pedestrians safe as they travel to and from school. Their dedication helps create safer school environments and stronger communities.
On Friday, you may notice our School Crossing Supervisors wearing a commemorative ribbon in support of the campaign. The ribbon also honours the memory of Brian Beach, a School Crossing Supervisor who tragically lost his life while on duty at his Wodonga school crossing in February 2024.
In support of School Crossing Safety Awareness Day, we ask families and community members to please keep the following important safety messages in mind:
- School crossings are for everyone, not just students and young people.
- School zone speed limits must always be obeyed, and motorists should be prepared to stop safely in school areas.
- Bicycles, scooters and similar devices must be dismounted when using a school crossing.
- Pedestrians are encouraged to remove headphones or in-ear listening devices when crossing, so they can hear the supervisor’s whistle and surrounding traffic.
Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to supporting our School Crossing Supervisors and helping keep our school communities safe.
