Leading Teachers

The Year 4 students are participating in KidsROAR on the 30th of July - a program committed to the prevention of abuse of children through education on Personal Safety. 

Their programs are based on Protective Behaviours Themes:

• ‘We all have the right to feel safe at all times’ and

• ‘We can talk to someone we trust about anything, no matter what it is’

By participating in an interactive KidsROAR session, the students will develop a greater understanding of how important it is to ‘ROAR’….

Recognise – feelings, warning signs, safe/unsafe situations and secrets

Own – their body and understand it belongs to them

Assert – have confidence to implement the ‘No, Go, Tell’ strategy

Report – to their identified trusted adults and persist in telling them how they feel

KidsROAR are also running a parent information session prior to the incursion where parents will be introduced to the concept of Protective Behaviours and given an overview of the skills and strategies the children will learn during the KidsROAR session, and the importance of starting personal safety education as early as possible.

Parent information session

• Detailed information will be sent to Grade 4 families next week

• It will be an hour session online, on the 14th of July (during the holidays)
