Back to school for Hartlepool RNLI volunteer
Former Frederick Nattrass primary school pupil and current volunteer with the Hartlepool Rnli lifeboat crew Jayne Mandeville had the pleasure of meeting pupils and teachers from her old school at Norton recently.
The pupils were at the Ferry Road lifeboat station to learn about sea safety and the work of the RNLI.
A few days later Jayne returned to her old school accompanied by the RNLI mascot ‘Stormy Stan’ to talk about sea safety in a front of a full school assembly.
‘It was really nice to meet some of the children and staff from my old school at the boathouse and the school but most importantly with the summer holidays coming up it was good to teach the children about being safe at the seaside.'
School teacher Jane Sturrock of Frederick Nattrass school said: ‘We all really enjoyed our visit to the lifeboat station and Jayne did a really impressive presentation in front of the children at school.
‘Sea safety is a very important issue and I am sure the children have learned a lot from today’s visit and the important work of the RNLI volunteers.'
