We will be running our Keeping Ourselves Safe programme in weeks 3 and 4. A KOS parent meeting is being held on Monday 12th, February, at 6:30 pm in the Senior Learning Street.

Keeping Ourselves Safe consists of a range of child protection resources to help children and young people learn and apply a range of safety skills that they can use when interacting with others.

Each class will have four sessions (30 minutes x 4 for the Juniors and middles, 45 minutes x 4 for the Seniors) delivered by Constable Ross Greer.

The year 0–4 resources will help students to learn:

• A range of safety skills that they can use when interacting with others
