The week begins with it what seems to be a return to the capital's trademark weather: cool nights and bright, sunny days. The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a top of 29 degrees today with sunny skies and some light winds.

Here's what's making the news in the bush capital this morning:

Parents of children at Theodore Primary School have told The Canberra Times they are too afraid to send their kids to school amidst escalating violence between students.

Parents have complained of harrowing incidents dating back to 2017, including a child choked into unconsciousness, another cornered into a toilet and swung around by a broken arm, young girls followed into toilets by older boys or children being hit in the face with rakes.
