Scott from Torbay Council came to the school on Friday 29th
July to present the three winners with a WHSmith gift card,
a certificate of achievement, a laminated copy of their poster
and a bag of road safety goodies.
She
explained how the School Travel Team produces a newsletter each
term called the Travel Trail, which gives information to pupils
on school travel and traffic issues. With the Travel Team wanting
to encourage children to find alternative ways to the get to
school, in a recent competition they asked children to draw
a picture or design a poster to promote walking or cycling to
school.
Winners
Luke, Conor and Milo each designed a poster and entered the
competition separately with their drawings proving to be so
good that they were each awarded prizes.
Cabinet
Member Cllr Chris Lewis said: "Many congratulations to
Luke, Conor and Milo and, indeed to everyone who took part in
the competition. We are very keen to encourage children and
their parents to think of ways they can get to school other
than by car.”
Cllr
Christine Scouler, Children's Champion for Healthy Outcomes,
said, “Every child counts and we aim to provide every child
with the best start to life. Initiatives such as this encourage
children to be health conscious and to take care of the environment."
