10. SUMMARY OF THE ACTIONS OF SCHOLAR PATROLS
With a view to uniform action, the actions of all scholar patrols countrywide can be summed up as follows:
- the team(s) on duty report(s) at a time as determined by the responsible educator / principal before school starts;
- equipment is handed out;
- teams are inspected regarding neatness, correct uniform and equipment;
- attendance register is taken;
- the captain passes on any special instructions to the leaders;
- the teams move to the relevant duty points (crossings);
- where applicable, pre-warning signs are put in place;
- leaders set up their teams at the crossings;
- in the afternoons the teams remain on duty until a time decided on by the responsible educator / principal;
- leaders withdraw the teams (move teams and pre-warning signs);
- equipment is checked and locked away after each duty tour;
- leaders report any incidents and necessary information to the captain (eg equipment breakage, vehicle problems, bad pedestrian behaviour);
- the teams dismiss;
- the captain reports to the responsible educator.
