Children's Crossing Commences
It was fabulous to see the Children’s Crossing in operation today!! On our
first day we had over 50 students from a number of different schools using
the crossing!! Importantly it was noted that there was a significant number
of students who were riding their bikes to school for the very first time unaccompanied by a parent.
In preparation for the start of the crossing not only have we trained the volunteers but we have trained all the students at school about the safe way to
use the crossing when a Traffic Warden is present.
The messages given were:
•
Always cross the road at the Children's Crossing
•
Always walk your bike and scooter across the road.
•
Wait on the side of the road until you hear 2 whistles from the Traffic
Warden
•
All adults should use the designated crossing even when they don't
have children with them.
We hope to see the Children's Crossing used on a regular basis so that we
can demonstrate to the Police Department that we have 20 students crossing the road every day. This will allow us to employ a permanent Traffic
Warden.

We are exceptionally fortunate to have two outstanding artists in our
school with some very creative ideas!! Alan Meyburgh and Kerry Sibly
have both done an amazing job in giving us a creative and contemporary
school sign that will last for years!! It is a credit to both of them in the
way they have enthusiastically gone about designing and working out
how they were going to build this unique school sign.
Once again this magnificent community has been generous again in their
support of the project.

Friday Breakfast Club
Our School Chaplain, Roger Westaway, runs the Cowaramup Primary
School Breakfast Club every Friday in the Activity Centre.
It is great to see Cowaramup Primary School students sitting around tables sharing, talking to each other and helping Roger in preparation and
the clean-up.
If you are near the Activity Centre on a Friday morning feel free to go in
and see what a wonderful program Roger is running. Remember, breakfast is available for all students.
