Inspector Noel Rogan, Larne Sector Commander explains: "Approximately 500 children are now travelling from Larne to secondary school in Carnlough since St Comgalls, Garron Tower and St Aloysius' College amalgamated to become St Killians College. The majority of students travel by bus and police officers in Larne, the school principal and Translink came together to develop a scheme that would help ensure children stay safe on this journey.
We worked in partnership to develop a 'Bus Prefect Scheme' that aims to address safety and behaviour issues at bus stops and on the bus," he said.
Inspector Rogan went on to explain that senior pupils have been nominated by the school as 'Bus Prefects' and will monitor student behaviour, "The scheme is about raising awareness of problems to teachers to enable them to intervene and address any issues that arise."
