School Visits
A number of visits to local schools have been organised over the next couple of months. Both Sawyers Valley Primary School and Mundaring Primary School will be involved, with visits including a presentation on bush fire safety at at school assembly, and an information evening for parents. The latter will be an opportunity for schools to present and discuss their Bush Fire Action Plan with parents, as well as allow parents to have their own plans reviewed by Brigade members.
The visit dates are:
- 26th October - Mundaring Primary School Parent Information Night (18:30)
- 30th October - Sawyers Valley Primary School Assembly (09:00)
- 6th November - Mundaring Primary School Assembly (09:00)
- 9th November - Sawyers Valley Primary School Parent Information Night (18:00)
Not only is this be beneficial to raising awareness of bush fire safety in the local community, but it presents an excellent opportunity for our Brigade to undertake some “soft” recruiting.
Anyone interested in participating in any of these events should contact Adrian.
