ROAD AND RAIL SAFEY

It’s getting toward the busy end of the year so it is timely to remind everyone of being safe when travelling to and from school. I had a call from a member of the public recently to say she was concerned about some unsafe behaviour of some of our students when travelling on the train. Whilst we don’t have any rules in SA about how old children must be to travel alone on public transport it is a parents/carers responsibility to ensure that their children have the necessary skills and knowledge to be safe and responsible bus or train travellers and are capable of travelling independently. It is not fair to expect a child to take on the full responsibility of caring for younger children. Their lack of experience may make it difficult for them to take charge of situations and things can get out of hand.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Remembrance Day marks the

anniversary of the end of the First World

War on 11 November, 1918.

Remembrance Day was originally called

Armistice Day but was renamed in 1997

to broaden the meaning of the day, to a

day which commemorates those who

served in any war or conflict not just

World War I. Please take a moment to

talk to your child tomorrow about the

significance of this day. More

information can be found at:

DREAM CRICKET

Did you see the photo and article in the Coast City Messenger recently? Our Y1 students were lucky enough to participate in a day of cricket and also received some equipment. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Edwardstown for

organising this great day.

Y6 SCIENCE In our Science and HASS we have been learning

about the importance of clean water as a Global

Resource. We have learnt that this valuable and

limited resource is not distributed equally. At the

end of this unit, our class was asked, “Why should

we learn about and care about the Water Crisis?”
