Safe Routes to School at Sciennes

These logos were designed by Ben and Daniel in Primary 5

We have produced a slide and tape show. The soundtrack has music and sound effects and the children read some of their poems and raps. (Full text)
 
They also explain about conditions around the school and how people, especially parents, can help to stop the vicious circle.
 
We have shown the slide show to all the children in the school and on the 12th of May (1998) over 100 parents and some special guests came to see it and all the pictures, maps and graphs that we have produced.
 
Three local councillors turned up - Moyra Forrest (Liberal), Bob Cairns (Labour ) and Douglas MacKenzie (Conservative). Councillor Cairns is the Convenor of the Planning Committee and he is also on the Education Committee along with Councillor Mackenzie.
 
Several officials from the City Development Department also came to hear what we want to be done near the school.
 
We gave a special report about our project to Councillor Forrest, who is the councillor where the school is. She seems very keen to help.
 
Cathy Scott told the meeting how the Sciennes Safe Routes to School Group is going to campaign for Sciennes Road to be closed. The Sick Kids Hospital also wants this to happen.
