Become a Greater Shepparton School Crossing Supervisor

Providing flexible hours, rewarding work and an opportunity to get out across the region and give back, Council is looking for people with an interest in the community to fill the positions. School Crossing Supervisors are responsible for ensuring children have walking points at school crossing sites when they arrive and leave school grounds in both the morning and afternoon.

At 85-years-old, Roy Parrott has been a school crossing supervisor for more than 10 years. He admits age is no barrier for the role, saying he enjoys the interaction with local children and their parents.

“I love everything about the job. I love the kids and meeting the mums and dads. It’s really heart-warming to do a job like this,” he said.

“Age is no limit to becoming a School Crossing Supervisor. I’m 85 and I’m still going.”

St Mel’s Primary School Crossing Supervisor Wendee Long said seeing the enjoyment and happiness on the children’s faces each day is what makes the job so worthwhile.

“It gives you something to get up for in the morning, you look forward to it and it’s the satisfaction and happiness from the children when they say thank you and have a nice day that makes it so great,” she said.

For more information about the School Crossing Supervisor positions, phone Council’s Coordinator Social Equity and Safety on (03) 5832 9700, email communityadmin@shepparton.vic.gov.au or visit Council’s employment page.
