Today, Mrs Power and the School Council visited classes to reinforce some important mental health and health and safety messages. These messages were also shared at Assembly this morning following an important communication received from the Banbridge Neighbourhood Policing Team, which had previously been shared with parents via the school app in February.
As part of this message, we would like to remind families of the law and safety guidance around the use of e?scooters. The police message and information leaflet can be accessed again in the attached document (Law on E Scooters pdf).
The key safety messages shared with pupils today were:
• Always wear a helmet
• Wear high?visibility (hi?viz) clothing
• Wear bright clothing to help stay visible
Pupils were also reminded that electric scooters are only permitted for use on private land, in line with current legislation shared by police.
To finish, the School Council reminded everyone of the importance of looking after our health and wellbeing, including remembering to drink water regularly throughout the day.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our pupils safe and well.
