Free School Meals
If you are entitled for Free School Meals, the form is now available from the
Department or you can come and collect one from the School Office. If you
currently are in receipt of Free School Meals, you will need to apply for the
next academic year. You can also apply online at
FreeSchoolMeals.DEC4@doe.gov.im.
Beware
Some of the children like to play in the woods next to school at the end of the
school day. Over the last week, a few of the children have been injured by a
rogue piece of barbed wire in the boggy area and also a piece of wood with nails
in. Could you please remind the children about their safety when out playing
and also what would be a good choice to make if they found something
dangerous.
