Chris Cairns Visits for Rail Safety Week

Today (Thursday 16th August) Chris Cairns came to our school to talk to us about railway safety because railways can be very dangerous. He came to tell us to be careful around railways and trains and to respect railways.
 Chris Cairns got a train driver to come and talk to us too, his name was Ron. Ron is a rail engineer he said to stay away from railways because it sometimes takes a train half a kilometer to stop.
Chris Cairns' saying is ‘Use your brain, tracks are for trains’
Although he is a famous cricketer, he came to talk to us because a few years ago his sister Louise was tragically killed in a rail accident, and because a great number of Fitzroy kids cross the track to get to school and home again each day.
