Dear Parents/ Guardians,

Just a reminder that November is Stay Safe month.

The Stay Safe programme is a personal safety skills programme for primary schools. The aim of the programme is to reduce vulnerability to child abuse and bullying through provision of personal safety education for children.

It is developmentally structured to enable primary school teachers to deliver an abuse prevention education that addresses personal safety issues such as physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as bullying and stranger danger.

Topics that will be covered are as follows;

• Feelings
• Friendships
• Building confidence and self-esteem
• How to identify and deal with inappropriate or unsafe touch
• That it is ok to say ‘no’ to an adult in a situation where they feel unsafe, threatened or frightened
• To identify trusted adults whom they should tell if they are feeling frightened, threatened, worried or unsafe in any way
• To understand how someone might bribe, trick or threaten them to keep a secret
• It is never their fault if they are victimised or abused
• That they should never go anywhere with or take anything from a stranger
• Appropriate language for telling
• The Stay Safe rules

All primary schools are required to fully implement the Stay Safe programme (DES circular 65/2011) within the context of Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) Curriculum.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Parent teacher meetings will be held next week from Tues 20^th Nov until Thursday 22^nd November between 2pm-4pm. We have noted that some parents still have not booked an appointment to meet the class teacher. Booking is available through the Aladdin app. Appointments can also be made by written request to your child’s teacher, please inform them of which day suits you best Tues 20^th, Wed 21^stor Thurs 22^nd  between 2pm-4pm.

If an appointment has not been made by this coming Thursday, 15^th November, an appointment will be allocated to you via a written note in the homework folder/diary. As always, we will do our best to accommodate parents with siblings however we cannot guarantee appointments close in time.

Please be advised that meetings will be held on the above dates only. Unfortunately, teachers will be unable to accommodate appointments outside of this time frame.

If parents do not attend at their appointment time, there is no guarantee another appointment will be provided.

If cancellations are necessary, please inform the class teacher or the office ahead of time.

We would like to thank all parents for their patience with this new system.

Le Meas,

Lynn

Dear Parents/guardians,

Please be advised that an independent fire safety consultant from AFEC, was onsite, over the mid-term break while the precautionary structures were being put in place. The consultant worked with KSN project managers to ensure required standards were met. Please See question 8 of the Q & A .Updated Q&A for Parents

Please be assured that AEFC fire safety consultant will return early next week and a fire drill will take place while AEFC are onsite. Please note, in the interim that all evacuation routes on our current evacuation plan are functional.

Secondly, I would like to bring your attention to the Press Release which issued yesterday evening confirming that as of tomorrow, Friday 9 November, all WBS-constructed schools at which precautionary measures were implemented will be open again to receive students.
