Next term, we will be teaching the Keeping Ourselves Safe unit in your child’s class. This is part of a personal safety programme that all schools in New Zealand deliver. Keeping Ourselves Safe has been designed to give students the skills to cope in situations involving abuse.

The aims of the programme is :
• to develop and strengthen children’s skills to keep themselves safe with other people;
• to support and encourage abused children to get help from caring adults;
• to make teachers and parents/caregivers more aware of the need to keep children safe from abuse by adults or other children.

A parent and caregiver meeting will be held with the community police officer and teacher representatives which we warmly invite you to attend.

Date: Tuesday 24th September 2019 ( Term 3, week 10)
Time: 6pm - 7pm
Venue: Milford School Staffroom
