Dogs on the Oval

I have been made aware of the ongoing problem with dog owners not cleaning up after their animals when using the school oval. While the problem is usually caused by people outside our school community there have been instances of Madeley students or the parents of Madeley students allowing their dog to do its 'business' without cleaning it up. We ask that if you are bringing your dog to exercise on the oval that you also bring a plastic bag to clean up any mess that they may leave. It is very distressful for students and staff when they are forced to wear shoes that have stepped in dog poo. It can also become a health problem as dirty shoes are worn into classrooms and onto carpets and mats that students often sit on.
