JRSO ACHIEVEMENT

This years Junior Road Safety Officers are coming to the end of their time as Leaders of this team. They have worked incredibly hard throughout the year, and their efforts were recognised by Ayrshire Roads Alliance (ARA) on Friday.

Representatives of Ayrshire Roads Alliance contacted Mrs Beveridge to ask if they could come to our school and present certificates. The team were also asked to create a short promotional video to showcase all the fabulous work they’ve done and to highlight the benefits of having a JRSO Team in more schools across Ayrshire.

I would like to say that it has been a privilege to work alongside Amber, Grace, Harry and Travis. I am extremely proud of the dedication and hard work over the campaigns and initiatives we ran this year. A lot of valuable road safety information was researched and shared with everyone at Nether Robertland.

An additional responsibility that the group has, is to choose the next Junior Road Safety Officers for the new term in August. This has now been completed, and I look forward to introducing them to you after the summer.

A big thank you to all our pupils, staff and wider community who have been so supportive; we couldn’t do this without all of your enthusiasm and engagement!

Many thanks

Miss McMillan

JRSO Update –

The JRSOs have been campaigning along with North, South and East Ayrshire schools to highlight the dangers of E-Scooters. They created posters and presented at assembly, highlighting the dangers. Please see the PowerPoint below with more information.

As special treat for all their last work this session, the JRSOs enjoyed a nice Christmas breakfast with Miss McMillan.

Junior Road Safety Officers’ Update

Hello!

Recently at assembly, we spoke about the dangers of walking through the school car park.

We have our display in the gym hall to show you the safe paths to use.

Last month we went outside with our Hi-Viz vests on to highlight where the dangers are around our school and where the safe walking routes are. You will see a map of these below. We want to stop you from putting yourself in danger.

Not that long ago, one of our friends was nearly knocked down because they were cutting through the car park on their scooter. This would have been avoided if they had used the safe paths.

We don’t want anyone getting hurt or run over so please make sure you use the safe paths and NOT cut through the car park as a quick way to get into the playground.

Thank you from your Junior Road Safety Officers.
