In St. Canice’s NS, Junior Traffic Wardens (6th class students) operate in teams to provide the same service as a School Traffic Warden. Junior Traffic Wardens operate in teams of six and a signal requesting traffic to stop is given from both sides of the road. After traffic stops, the six Junior Traffic Wardens take up their position and guide younger children across the public road. All vehicles must remain stopped until all the Junior Traffic Wardens have returned to the footpath. To ensure that Junior Traffic Wardens can carry out their function properly, it is vital that they have a clear view of the road. Drivers should never stop or park in positions where they could obstruct the view of Junior Traffic Wardens or School Traffic Wardens.
Our new team of Junior Wardens have just been trained and taken up their duties. I would ask for co-operation with all the wardens in ensuring he safety of the children.
Thank you to the parents who have volunteered for the Parent Crossing Warden Scheme in the mornings and who carried out their duties so diligently and well.
