Special Assembly this week on the theme of Respect in our Community!
During a Special Assembly this week on the theme of Respect in our Community, local Councillor (SF) Nichola Bradley and Mr McArevey spoke to the boys (P3-7) about socially unacceptable type behaviours.
Unfortunately, there have been a few incidents (outside of school hours) reported to us, involving HCB pupils throwing stones at houses, jumping on car bonnets, hurting animals and using foul language and aggressive behaviour towards elders in the Community. Nichola and Mr McArevey highlighted how these types of behaviours are totally unacceptable and how they can lead to severe consequences for the young people/children involved in this.
