KEEPING SAFE As the nights stretch it is important to remind our children of some simple rules to help keep them safe when they are out and about. 1. Stay together with friends; don't go off alone. 2. A stranger is just a grownup or teenager they haven't met before. 3. A trustworthy adult (stranger) would never approach a child to ask for directions or help. 4. Not all adults are kind and helpful. 5. It is okay to SHOUT 'NO' to a stranger and to run to a safe place (shop, school, home, neighbour etc.) Our Moneyrea Mantra is: Never talk to a stranger Never take from a stranger Never go with a stranger. Say where you're going Say who you're with Say when you'll be home. We understand that children are more often harmed by people they know, but this advice applies specifically to being out and about on their own. We should revisit this advice often in a non-alarming and reassuring manner. It is giving our children the tools to help them keep safe.

OH WHAT A NIGHT Moneyrea PTA's first Culture Night was an amazing success. We had families representing, India , Jordan , Brazil , Holland , Ukraine , Barbados , Poland , Colombia , Northern Ireland , Republic of Ireland , and Canada . We sampled some outstanding dishes from around the world and found out some amazing facts about each country. Add to that, demonstrations of Highland Dancing , Highland pipes and drums, Jordanian and Indian dancing and a wee boogie from Barbados. We were regally entertained. Oh and not to forget the henna tattoos and rock painting. It was simply fantastic. Thank you to all our families and staff who shared their cultures with us tonight and to Ruba who coordinated the event and our PTA team. We are all part of our Moneyrea family. We are very grateful to Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council for sponsoring this event and to Marlene Dodds for her help with setting up. We'll have to do it again !
