We have child protection as our school welfare focus for Term 3. Students will work in grade groupings on material suitable for their level of understanding. The material has been developed by the Department of Education and focuses on the idea that all children have a right to be safe. It is compulsory that child protection be taught in schools. The three themes covered in the lessons are -

Recognising Abuse Power in Relationships Protective Strategies

Children are taught that if they feel unsafe or threatened they should follow the plan of ‘NO, GO TELL’. Parents who would like more information about the program or an opportunity to view the material being used are invited to speak to Mrs Menzies or class teachers.
