COFFEE CLUB: “BULLY BUSTERS!!”
This week is “Bully Awareness Week” at our school and in
light of that we are having a very special Coffee Club on
Thursday, 7 May at 08:00 in the Auditorium.
Please book your seat with Liz at Reception and join us for a
talk that will arm you with the necessary skills and
information on how to deal with bullies, whether your child
is in the situation of being bullied or even if your child is
being the bully. Bullying is something that everybody will
come face-to-face with at some stage in life and knowing
how to deal with it from all directions is imperative if we
want to combat it successfully. See you there!!
At Crawford Prep Lonehill….

Don’t be a BULLY!!

Don’t be BULLIED!!

Don’t be a BYSTANDER!!
HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY!!
If you have a MOM, there is
nowhere you are likely to go
where a prayer has not
already been.
