CO Derry school St Mary's Altinure has won the title of Northern Ireland Primary School Road Safety Quiz champions following a closely contested final.
Pupils Liam Crossan, Luke McElhinney, Emma Redmond and Fergal O'Kane helped their school win the competition for the first time.
They beat two south Armagh schools to the top prize. Dromintee PS were runners-up and St Patrick's PS, Crossmaglen were third in the finals, which were held at the NI Fire and Rescue Training Centre in Belfast earlier this month.
The Road Safety Council of Northern Ireland has been running the quiz for primary 7 children for more than 20 years, with this year's competition sponsored by CRASH Services.
All the finalists had qualified from regional heats organised by local road safety committees. More than 80 teams entered from the six committee areas.
The competition is organised in a table quiz format to help the children learn about road safety in a fun way.
There was a mixture of serious messages, facts and figures as well as general knowledge questions.
Pat Martin, chair of the Road Safety Council of NI and a former primary school teacher, said the quiz has a proven track record of helping children "to learn the importance of road safety in their lives".
"Everyone involved is encouraged to take the important lessons back to their homes and schools," he said.
Special guests included Inspector Rosie Leech from PSNI Roads Policing and Assistant Chief Fire Officer Alan Walmsley.
Inspector Leech said that she was humbled and delighted to see so many young people present who would soon be teenagers and young drivers of the future, learning about road safety and participating in such a worthwhile competition.
She also expressed her gratitude to the volunteers of the Road Safety Council and its committees for the time and effort that they put into organising and running both the regional heats and the Northern Ireland finals.
Mr Walmsley said teaching road safety was vital - every day his officers are called upon to visit the scenes of at least two serious road traffic accidents to provide help and rescue people injured and trapped in vehicles.
Jonathan McKeown from event sponsors CRASH Services said his business was involved in accident management and breakdown recovery services, "so we have a close connection with road users and we are pleased to get involved with road safety projects like this".
