Dear parents,
I wish to bring the following to your attention.
It is school policy to contact parents if their child bumps his/her head. In the case of minor bumps, the school will henceforth send a text to advise parents so that parents are aware of the incident. In the event of a more serious incident, the school will call the parent.
Lismore Primary Science conducted a workshop on 'The Guts of Digestion' for the children in Fifth and Sixth Classes on Monday as part of this school's programme for Science Week.
