BODY SAFETY EDUCATION - Term 4 Body Education Program, St Mary’s

 

Kelly Nash will be running our Body Education Program for our students in Grade 1 to Grade 6 this week.

Grade 4Feeling Safe and Same and Different

Parents and Carers are, and always will be, the primary body safety and sexuality educators of their children. Body Safety and Sexuality Education in the school setting can complement the value of respect and promote the involvement of parents and carers in this vital aspect of a child’s development.

 

Kelly is an experienced educator and has provided some resources she recommends to families to support dialogue:

 

 

 

Talk soon Talk often.

Secret Girls Business and Secret Boys Business

 

The school has copies of these resources available for families to borrow and use with their children. 

 

The Prep Body Safety Program will be facilitated by Mrs Galvin and Miss Kalkbrenner in the coming weeks.

 

If any families wish to discuss our Body Education program, please feel welcome to see Gab or Lisa.

SunSmart - Hats Term 4!

As a SunSmart school, we wear hats outside when the UV indicator requires it and every day in Term 1 and Term 4. 

 

Students without hats will be required to play in the Shelter Shed. 

 

If you require a new hat, please see the office.
