Keeping Ourselves Safe Parent Seminar 10 Nov

Dear whānau,

On Thursday we had 13 parents attend the seminar about our Keeping Ourselves Safe programme. This is a national programme run in conjunction wth schools and NZ Police. We hope you found it useful and interesting in your role of supporting the staff to help our children learn to be more safe as they learn and grow. Here is the presentation for those who were unable to make it:

Thanks to Chris Thurlow for supporting this important topic for our parents and children. Meg Moynihan, our community constable, begins the programme today.

Keeping Ourselves Safe Parent Seminar - Thursday 10 Nov 2-3pm

This is one of the booklets
that teachers work with.

We are running a seminar for parents to give an overview of this important topic which the entire school is focussed on from week 3. 

KOS is a personal safety programme and we will share what it is, why it is important and what is taught. We require minimum 10 parents to run this seminar because we run this in conjunction with NZ Police. More information about KOS in next weeks newsletter or www.police.govt.nz
