Please be vigilant – we have been advised that there is a suspected paedophile
in our area. He is dark complexioned and drives a Silver Toyota PNW 886 GP.
He attempts to ‘kidnap’ young boys and girls.
We must also be aware that the World Cup is going to attract many such
people, and we must not allow children and women to go unescorted,
especially after dark.
Traffic Congestion
Please be courteous and responsible when collecting your children from school.
Use the drive-through route if possible, and do not block or congest the roads
near the school. The local residents are entitled to respect and privacy.
Pick-ups
Pupils are not allowed to wait outside the gates while waiting for parents to collect them.
Many play games in the street, or lounge and lie around like inebriated bergies,
leaving litter and creating a bad impression.
The final date for submitting entries for Grade 8 in 2011 was
