Adults are ultimately responsible for keeping children safe, however, there is evidence that safety education can result in important learning with lasting positive benefits for students. Learning about safety can help students become more confident to take steps to avoid unsafe situations and tell someone if they are in situations that are unsafe.

Parents have an important role in reinforcing the messages being delivered in the curriculum. As a result of participating in the lessons, it is possible that your child will want to discuss safety issues or ask questions about safety.

Safety lessons for students, taught in Library sessions, in Years K–6 will include:

These units of safety Awareness were developed by the Daniel Morcombe foundation. Day for Daniel will be celebrated around Australia on Friday, 27th October.
At St Bede’s, we will wear something red to signal Safety Awareness on Tuesday,31st October. Your child might wear red socks, a red t-shirt or a red ribbon.
If you have any further questions, or would like a parent information booklet please contact me via email ann.monkhouse@cg.catholic.edu.au
Please be aware, my teaching days are Mondays and Tuesdays

Thank you,
