farm safety
We were delighted to have Alex Wallace pay us a visit to talk to the children about Farm Safety. Separate assemblies for P1-P3 pupils and P4 - P7 pupils took place on Tuesday 14 June with the purpose of raising awareness of improving children's knowledge of both the dangers but also the joys of visit a farm. Children discussed their experiences and asked questions as part of Alex's visit. Thank you to Alex for her time.
PSNI VISIT: ONLINE AND ROAD SAFETY
We were delighted to be visited by Chris from the PSNI Peninsula Neighbourhood Team on Thursday 7th April 2022. Our Road Safety Team wrote to the PSNI team before Christmas to arrange a visit and we are very grateful that Constable Brown was able to spend some time with the children.
A number of issues around Road Safety and Online Safety were discussed. Chris has asked if families can park their cars in the fantastic Cloughey Beach Car Park and make the short 2 minute walk to school- particularly during the warmer weather. Concerns have been highlighted regarding children entering and exiting vehicles against oncoming traffic on Main Road. School wishes to join the PSNI in appealing to families to use the fantastic parking facilities at Cloughey Beach to ensure safety and lines of sight for all road users and pedestrians.
Chris also spoke to children about some of the relevant dangers of making content available to other online users through social media and popular apps. We strongly encourage children and families to ensure they are checking privacy settings on relevant apps and considering carefully if particular apps are age appropriate for children. A number of excellent guides are available to parents through our website:
