Kenny Koala says Walk Safely to School



Kenny Koala has taught students across the ACT important road safety rules in preparation for Walk Safely to School Day.

Constable Kenny Koala and ACT Policing taught children at Farrer Primary School road safety rules in a bid to prepare them for Walk Safely to School Day. 

“Students who aren’t aware of road safety rules are at risk of crossing roads in unsafe places. It’s important that children understand that there is always a safe way to get across the road, whether it be a pedestrian crossing or going through an underpass,” says Constable Kenny Koala.

“It’s also important that all road users respect school zones and watch out for children crossing roads around schools,” says Constable Kenny.

School zones are in place at all schools in the ACT.
