PUPIL BULLETIN THURSDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 2014

Corridors - Keep Left: All pupils are reminded that the general rule when moving around the school is to keep to the left. This applies to corridors, stairs etc. All the corridors and stairs are wide enough that there should be no need for any other rules if this one is stuck to. Keep left and you'll always be right! (DB)
Morriston Road: We have received a complaint from a member of the public about two ElginAcademy pupils who have been removing stones form a garden on Morriston Road and throwing them on to the road. Any pupils doing this must stop immediately - if not, then they will find themselves being dealt with by the Police. (DB)
