We will again welcome Spencer and Billy to school on Tuesday (Therapy Dogs). 

Parents may have concerns about their child’s interaction with an animal within the school environment. These concerns may relate to your child’s fear or phobia of animals, or a health and safety concern.  We would like to assure you that all precautions are being taken to minimise risks and as a result, a risk management plan is available for your perusal should you wish to better understand our planning.  In addition, further information about commonly asked questions and concerns are attached. 

If you do not wish to consent to your child having any interactions with Spencer please ensure you discuss this decision with your child and complete the Non Consent/Withdrawal form.  This form is imperative to ensure the school is aware of your decision and will support staff to monitor your child’s proximity to the dogs.

Please do not hesitate in reaching out to our Guidance Officer, Mel Espejo, who will be able to discuss any concerns you may have.
