Question: Which staff member once swam with a 12ft long tiger shark?

Answer: Mr Hazle

Class: Grandstaff

Note:Are Tiger Sharks Dangerous Or Aggressive? - AZ Animals

Tiger sharks are said to be among the most aggressive shark species. It is ranked among the three most aggressive sharks in the world, with the great white shark and the bull shark completing the list. These sharks are very aggressive when hunting prey in the water.  However, accidents (and they are accidents, not attacks) with humans are rare.

Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

A reminder that there is NO morning recess.  You must enter the building directly upon arriving.  You may not play football outside.  On that subject, we cannot allow football or any form of tackling games at lunchtime due to the number of injuries that we have seen resulting from that.
