5th Class pupils at St John the Baptist BNs were delighted to welcome three members of An Garda Síochana as part of The Garda Primary Schools Programme. This is a comprehensive education programme for 5th class pupils in Primary Schools throughout the country.
The programme consists of a series of presentations given to the school children by their local Gardaí on the role of the Garda, road/cycle Safety, bullying, vandalism, personal safety, drugs, crime prevention and respectful online communication.
The Programme aims to teach children sensible and responsible patterns of behaviour in order that they may:
- Be safer on the roads and at home
- Positively contribute towards Crime Prevention
- Be aware of the the role of An Garda Síochána
- Develop positive attitudes towards An Garda Síochána and its work
We would like to thank Sergeant Moloney, Garda Blackburn and Garda Gough for facilitating such a great morning for the boys.
