JRSO - Brooke

""Hi, my name is Brooke and I am a peer mentor. I am nearly 10 years old and I am in Year 5. At home I am now trusted to go to the nearby park and shop as I am trusted to cross the road safely. The reason I wanted to become a peer mentor was because of how you help out with people and their problems. The reason I wanted to become a junior road safety officer is because I am very good at crossing the road and I want to help keep others safe. For example, if someone was running across the road I would ask them to walk and speak to them about crossing the road safely. In the past I have helped others by making sure that people don't park in the wrong places, for example on the yellow zig zag lines. I would like people to understand the danger of crossing the road and make sure they pay attention as we can all get easily distracted by our friends! Hopefully you will see me around the school soon as a Road Safety Officer!"
