    Approximately 50 students at St. Andrew High School for Girls sat the road code test on Tuesday (April 23), becoming the first Corporate Area institution and the first all-girls school to take the test.

Administered by the Island Traffic Authority (ITA), the test is a requirement under the new Road Traffic Act for persons to be granted a provisional driver’s licence (learner’s permit).

Students in grades 12 and 13 sat the test at the school’s Cecelio Avenue address.

They were required to submit a medical certificate, proof of address, and a tax registration number (TRN) to sit the test, which was facilitated by officers from the ITA’s Swallowfield Examination Depot.
