Primary School No. 6 F. Chopin in Locus – the best school in the podia in the prestigious “Reflective School” competition organized by the Traffic Department of the Provincial Police Headquarters in Krakow.

The patrons of the campaign were: the National Road Safety Council and Radio Krakow. The aim of the competition is to promote among students the rules of safe road travel and the obligation to wear reflective clothing, deepening parents ‘and guardians’ awareness of the use of reflective elements, promotion in the local environment of all initiatives shaping the proper attitudes of children and parents in the field of road safety.

Lectures on City Guard officers are just some of the activities addressed not only to students but also to parents. In turn, the September challenges: “reflective day of the boy” combined with reflective fashion, cleaning the world, “reflective sports tournament” for children from nearby kindergarten No. 5 in Locus, “reflective multiplication table”, exits, trips, rallies – it’s actions, in whose main idea was to show and promote the use of reflective vests and safe navigation on the roads, especially after dark.

The collaboration of the director of the school, catechist of Anna Gorki with the parish priest of Saint. Barbara, priest Stanislaw Partita resulted in interesting and innovative activities within the framework of the competition: dedication of first-graders in satchels combined with reflections, and also the action “Help your Angel Guardian – be visible”.

In turn, on the initiative of Ms. Paulina, the school participated in an event on the Locus Market: “Be visible, let yourself be noticed”, whose main organizer was SpottedOlkusz.Pl and Silver Sky. The action had a noble purpose – collecting nuts for a sick boy. In return for collected and donated caps, students received vests and reflective bands, which will contribute to the safety of students, especially during trips and exits.

This important topic was also discussed during preventive theater directed to students of our school, as well as during educational lessons when the students watched an educational film about road safety. During the technology lessons, pupils discussed issues of this topic, as well as self-made reflective tapes.
