Incident outside West Park School
From the Principal....
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
This morning there were a further two incidents outside school grounds involving children on their way to school. One took place nearby Johnsonville Kindergarten, and the second on Comber Place. Police were again notified and are dealing with the matter. They will let the school know if there are any further actions we need to take, or if there are details that we need to communicate to, and or seek from the community. Over the next few days there will be a police presence around the school grounds before school, and additional staff on the grounds between 8.30 and 9.00am.
Please note that the children are safe and that the parents have all been made aware. The children demonstrated excellent stranger danger awareness and immediately informed the school.
I will let you know if anything else comes to light that you may need to be made aware of.
Kind regards,
Luis Echegaray
Principal

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
