We are thankful to charity St Vincent De Paul for funding our safety kids’ program. We will be going to 8 primary schools discussing our 6 protection rules combating ending violence against women and children.
This program enables us to teach students safety rules to guide themselves and protect themselves when in danger. Furthermore, they will know who to contact and a trusted adult to call when they are dragged in unsafe situations.
From August 8th – 18th 2022 we visited Ah Mu Academy, Marist Brothers Primary School, Robert Louis Stevenson Primary, St Mary’s Primary, Samoa Primary School, Vaiala Beach School, St Peters Primary, St Theresa Primary School.
We partnered with St. Vincent de Paul for our Safety kids’ program. During our workshop we taught 6 protection rules, assuring our kids understand when and what to do in danger, their boundaries and their rights to their bodies.
- Tell a grown up
- Safe touch Unsafe touch
- Stranger safety
- Doesn’t matter who it is
- Shout, run, tell
- Hitting is wrong
Our activities involved; giving students different scenarios when in danger and they have to use respond our 6 protection rules to respond. Draw a picture on paper plates provided of who your “safe adults” and why.
Fill in blanks activity etc. This allowed them to learn how to apply these rules and to be creative.
