Visit from Mc Graths
Thank you to the team at Mc Graths who organised a road safety talk for the children. The highlight of the visit was getting the opportunity to climb into the truck cab, see the drivers view and develop an awareness of the drivers blind spots. It was a fun and memorable way to learn the importance of staying safe around large vehicles.
