It's hard work being a school crossing patroller and Whanganui area students have been rewarded for their commitment to the job.
Whanganui police Constable Rob Conder said there are 250-300 students involved in operating Kea or pedestrian crossings outside schools in the wider Whanganui area and many of them attended a street march in Whanganui on Wednesday, November 22.
The march from Majestic Square down Victoria Ave ended at Embassy 3 cinema where the students were treated to an icecream and entry to The Lego Ninjago Movie. Whanganui police, Maori Wardens and school staff accompanied the students.
"It's a thank you to celebrate their work during the year to make sure the kids cross the road safely," Mr Conder said.
"There have been no accidents that I know of throughout the year so they've done a very awesome job."
