BELCO’s annual kite safety poster competition once again involved visits to classrooms by BELCO staff and to discuss electricity safety especially whilst flying kites. The company is committed to fostering a culture of safety within our company, schools and community.
Director of Communications and Sustainability Krista Barnes said: “This is our 34th year of the BELCO kite safety campaign and poster competition and, we thoroughly enjoy being able to visit classrooms and educating students about kite safety. It was wonderful to receive more than 150 fantastic posters from students across the island this year and it was difficult to choose the winners! Kite safety awareness is very important to highlight during the annual Good Friday holiday and by participating in the competition students learn the important lessons on electricity safety while having fun creating a piece of artwork. This year’s creative and colourful posters are on display on our Facebook page and bring great joy to our followers. On behalf of the staff at BELCO, congratulations to the winners!”
