Dear Parents,

I want to let you know as matter of some urgency, that yesterday at about 4.00 pm one of our Year 9 students was approached by an adult stranger who said to the boy that he had been sent by his parents to pick him up, which was not the case. The incident took place outside the East Gate of the Legend Garden Campus. Fortunately, the boy was old and wise enough to know better, and did not accept the invitation. His mother contacted us soon after to alert us of the situation.

Clearly, we are concerned that this incident has taken place. The safety and well-being of our students is of paramount importance. Accordingly, everyone must be vigilant and take extreme care in dealing with the issue of `stranger danger'. Our guards are on heightened alert and today all students will be briefed by teachers and form tutors about the potential dangers and what do if faced with a similar situation. However, I would be grateful if you could take the time to discuss this matter with your children at home and reiterate the safeguarding messages being put out by the school.
