Dear Parents and Carers

This week many of the students have participated in the First Aid in Schools program delivered to Years 3-6 by Bob Colville from St John's Ambulance. Learning how to respond to assist others with first aid is an excellent skill and we are very fortunate to be able to offer this to our students each year. In addition, police officer Donna Clarke visited the students of Year 5 and 6 this week to discuss safe practices with social media and the power of making the right decision. Donna spoke to the students about demonstrating respectful behaviours in all environments including at school and in the community. We thank Bob and Donna for reaching out to us to present this content to the students.
