Megan McKeown (centre) helps launch the NI Primary School Road Safety Quiz 2019 along with Davy Jackson, from event organisers, Road Safe NI, and Jonathan McKeown of event sponsors, CRASH Services.
Northern Ireland Road Safety Quiz 2019
Primary Schools are being invited to enter their local heat of the Northern Ireland Road Safety Quiz 2019. The 11 heats are being held in January and February and 2 teams from each will progress to the NI final which will be held in Belfast in March.
The quiz, which is for P7 pupils, is organised by Road Safe NI, which is a leading road safety charity, to promote awareness with primary school children, who are a vulnerable road user group. The event is once again sponsored by leading accident management firm, CRASH Services 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 and 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 and last year we had nearly 200 primary schools take part. 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 too.
Jonathan McKeown from sponsors CRASH Services said, “As a business with close connections to road users we are delighted to get involved and support road safety projects like this. We have a strong partnership with Road Safe NI and they should be commended for running such an innovative event. I would like to encourage primary schools to take the opportunity to get involved.”
