Woodville School has sent a warning home to parents after one of their students was allegedly approached by a stranger.
The young boy had begun walking home at around 3pm on Tuesday when he came across a male sitting in a green car.
The person appeared to have stopped by a hill for a cigarette but as the boy came alongside the vehicle, the driver has offered him a ride.
Principal Gerry McGirr said the boy declined and continued to walk home.
"This young man did exactly the right thing. He went home and told his mother who came into school the following morning."
