Nominations open for School Crossing Supervisor awards

Parents can look out for the school crossing supervisors who look out for their children.

Macedon Ranges council is encouraging everyone from its local school communities to nominate their school crossing supervisor for the 2018 Victorian School Crossing Supervisor of the Year award.

Thirty-one supervisors work across the Macedon Ranges, ensuring every person gets across the road safely outside 19 schools.

The council’s manager of community safety, Anne-Louise Linder, said the supervisors, some of whom had been working to help locals cross the road for 35 years, often also taught pupils about road safety.

Ms Linder said the award was a wonderful way to honour the supervisors.

“We regularly hear from school principals and community members on what a wonderful job our crossing supervisors do,” she said. “This is a great opportunity to recognise their professionalism and commitment.”

Nominate a supervisor at schoolcrossingsvictoria.com.au/supervisor-year-awards before Friday, May 25.
