Hawk Academy received a surprise visit from officers from the Primrose Police Station, members of the Primrose Crime Prevention Youth Desk and local community patrollers last Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The visit was aimed at promoting a safe learning environment, and to address the troubling trend of learners bringing dangerous weapons, illegal substances and other illicit items to school.<\/p>
