🚦 Road Safety Week 2026 🚦 Next week, pupils across St. Colmcille's will be taking part in activities to mark Road Safety Week. Using resources provided by BRAKE, children will explore how to stay safe on and around our roads, learn about the importance of making safe and healthy journeys, and discuss how we can all play a part in keeping our community safe. As a UNICEF Rights Respecting School, this learning links closely to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, particularly Article 6 (the right to life, survival and development) and Article 24 (the right to health and safety). Through these activities, pupils will consider how everyone has a role to play in helping children travel safely and confidently within their community. We look forward to seeing our pupils engage with this important topic throughout the week and develop the knowledge and skills needed to make safe choices every day. #RoadSafetyWeek #Brake #UNCRC
