Newbuildings PS Junior Wardens.
Junior wardens at Newbuildings Primary School on the outskirts of Derry spent time during their last few days at school out and about the village carrying out a tidy up.
The pupils, who were part of the Housing Executive’s Junior Warden Scheme, could be seen bedecked in red making their way through the village, past local shops and the community centre before finishing up at the local play park.
The scheme encourages young people to take ownership of their surroundings and become more responsible and committed in making their community a safer and cleaner place in which to live.
This year additional funding has been provided by the Policing and Community Safety Partnership.
In addition to the clean-up, the wardens also took part in a guided tour of Derry, held anti-social behaviour talks with the Community Safety wardens, designed posters and took part in a photography project.
Patrick Duddy, Social Education Officer with the Housing Executive, congratulated the youngsters.
He said: “Newbuildings Primary School shows real commitment to the Junior Warden project.
“The kids are always full of enthusiasm and embrace the opportunity to make a positive difference.”
