Children Crossing (1955)

The Lollipop Lady/Man/Person or School Crossing Guard began in schools throughout Tasmania in 1949 with the School Patrol Officer Scheme. Volunteer students over 11 years of age are selected by the headmaster to regulate safety and good behaviour at all dangerous school intersections.
Dangerous drivers and misbehaved students are all reported to the principal.
Safety Patrol Officers wear a uniform with a badge of authority and prestige.
See scenes from St. Mary’s College, Huonville Area School and Kempton State School.
