What should I include on my poster?
There are a number of ways you can stay safe on board and around buses. You can choose your own safety message or use one of the following suggestions as inspiration for your poster.
When designing you poster you should also think what will get other passengers attention or ensure they read it.
- Holding on when standing up or taking a seat to avoid slips and falls
- Being aware of other passengers and keeping aisles clear of school bags
- Ensure the driver is able to do their job by not distracting the driver when the bus is moving, having quiet conversations and not playing loud music
- Being alert around roads and bus stops
- Hailing the bus and alerting drivers in advance of your stop
- Hygiene when travelling on buses (social distancing where possible, coughing into arm, disposing of tissues, not travelling when unwell, washing/sanitising hands)
How will my poster be judged?
- Entries must be A4 or A3 portrait format
- Entries must be an original drawing and can be drawn using the following mediums – pencil, felt tip pen, water colour paints or crayons
- Your entry should demonstrate a clear safety message (ensure you spell correctly!) and include correct safety behavior (rather than what not to do)
