Millbrook team has protocol on its side

Youngsters in the Millbrook Primary School netball squad are now
some of the smartest players in the West Swindon league, thanks to a
new kit donated by Protocol Educational Services.
The company supplies teachers and classroom assistants on daily or
short term contracts and responded to a request for new bibs, shirts and
skirts from the school.
Team coach Talia Wood said she thought the team would play with
much greater pride now that they could wear the Millbrook purple
together.
Player Kirsty Harris also reckons playing standards will improve. “The
old kit was a bit raggedy. The new one looks really smart and we’ll be
able to recognise each other better.”

After weeks of anticipation, pupils at Orchid Vale Primary School
learned in early February why two large plasma televisions had ap-
peared in the school hall and playground.
Head RusH explained that the TVs will show educational content, such as short

films encouraging the children to stay healthy, and images to celebrate
children’s work. “There are so many lovely, creative and innovative
HaIR & BeauTY activities in school to show off to each other and to visitors.”
Parents will be able to keep up to date by checking the information
displayed in the playground. “It’s another way for parents to see what’s
going on,” said Mrs Kalynka. “The children will make parents look;
Beauty by Hairdressing especially if their pictures are up there.”
