Steelstown PS pupils with Davy Jackson Chair Road Safe NI, Peter Melarkey Road Safe NI Mrs Siobhan Gillen school Principal Jonathan McKeown from sponsor’s CRASH Services.
The NI Primary School Road Safety Quiz 2024 has been launched at Steelstown Primary School in Derry.
Present at the launch were: Davy Jackson Chair Road Safe NI, Peter Melarkey Road Safe NI, Mrs Siobhan Gillen, Principal, Steelstown PS, and Jonathan McKeown from sponsor’s CRASH Services.
Primary Schools are being invited to enter their local heat of the Northern Ireland Road Safety Quiz 2024. The 11 heats are being held in January and February and two teams from each will progress to the NI final which will be held in Cookstown in March.
The quiz, which is for P7 pupils, is organised by Road Safe NI charity and once again the NI final will be sponsored by leading accident management firm, CRASH Services, with individual heats being sponsored by local businesses and supported by other organisations including emergency services, PCSPs, and local councils.
The table quiz format will cover both road safety and general knowledge. The quiz will consist of 7 rounds of 8 questions plus an extra round on road signs. Prizes will be given to the top 3 teams and everyone involved will take home a certificate. Each school can send one team of 4 pupils from Primary 7.
Davy Jackson of Road Safe NI, commented: “The event has grown well over the last two decades in 2023 we had over 220 primary schools register. It is vitality important that we educate young road users on key road safety issues.
The quiz offers an ideal opportunity for the entire P7 class to learn about road safety in a fun and engaging way. The schools then pick their team to represent the school. Following the regional heats, we make the questions available to run the quiz back in the classroom for all to enjoy and learn from.”
Jonathan McKeown, CEO at CRASH Services said: “At CRASH we are passionate about playing our part in helping to promote road safety to all road users across NI.
"It’s important that road safety education starts at an early age, and we are delighted to once again be the headline sponsor for the final of the Primary School Road Safety Quiz 2024 which will help, educate children and influence their behaviours towards road safety.”
