Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSO) at Barassie Primary School were presented with a certificate after entering a Christmas E-Card Animation competition organised by Road Safety Scotland.

The national competition was open to all schools in Scotland. Councillor Peter Convery, Sustainability and Environment Portfolio Holder for South Ayrshire Council presented the certificate to the young animators.

Councillor Convery said: "The Junior Road Safety Officers at Barassie Primary put a lot of thought, time and effort into making their animated Christmas E-Card. Creating an animation requires the use of many skills, such as design, construction, writing a storyline and actually filming. I would like to congratulate them on all their hard work."

"We all want our primary school children to use roads in a safer way. The JRSO scheme in primary schools gets children directly involved in road safety issues. It gives them an opportunity to highlight problems that affect them locally and raise awareness of road safety issues within their school and the wider community."
