After two years of restricted contact with learners, schools in George are slowly opening their doors to carefully planned visits from the GO GEORGE communications team and, of course, the popular mascot Georgie.
With all the necessary Covid-19 safety precautions in place, Georgie and his team set out on a wide tour of pre-primary classes and primary schools during March. They were welcomed with loud cheering and singing, and eager young minds ready to learn about public transport, that all-important Smart Card, pedestrian safety near the buses and how to behave on the bus. The topic of vandalism was also addressed in an age-appropriate manner.
The bus-shaped photo banner with windows to peep through is a firm favourite among the little ones – that is after first giving Georgie a hug, of course.
Any organisation or school interested in a visit from GO GEORGE can phone the GO GEORGE Call Centre on 0800 044 044 to request contact from the communications team.
