We’re excited to welcome Constable Kenny to our school to deliver two fantastic programs: "Stay Ok in the Community" and “Stay Ok Every Day”. These sessions will teach students vital skills for staying safe in a variety of situations, with the content tailored to different age groups.
The "Stay Ok in the Community" program will focus on foundational safety skills, such as staying close to their carers, what to do if they get lost, and remembering essential information like their name and phone number. This session provides practical tools to help them navigate the world around them confidently and safely.
The "Stay Ok Every Day" program, promotes thoughtful decision-making by using three key questions: Is it safe? Is it healthy? Is it kind? These questions help guide students in making positive choices that support their well-being and safety, reinforcing concepts from the health component of the Australian curriculum. This program encourages older students to think critically about their decisions and how they impact themselves and others, helping them navigate everyday situations with confidence.
