This programme, which has been developed by the New Zealand Police and Ministry of Education, has been designed to provide children with the skills to cope with situations that may involve abuse.
It has three overall aims:
The year 1-3 programme, Knowing What to Do, covers the following topics:
The year 4-6 programme, Getting Help, covers the following topics:
Your child’s teacher will take the Keeping Ourselves Safe lessons, with help from a police education officer as required. For the programme to be successful, your help and support is needed. Some Home Book Activities will come home for you to work on with your child. It is important that you participate as much as possible, so that you can reinforce the messages children are getting and help your child use his or her new skills with confidence. Parents are invited to attend a meeting on Wednesday 9 May at 2.00pm in the staffroom when Senior Constable Adele White will outline the programme and answer any questions. MOTHER’S DAY MORNING: Make sure you purchase your tickets by Wednesday for catering purposes.

There will be a gold coin donation and this money will go towards a charity that they are supporting this term. Thank you for your support. The House Captains P.T.A. MEETING – 7.30PM MONDAY 14 MAY A fresh opportunity for parents to get involved! We require a number of parents who have not previously been involved in the P.T.A. (Parent-Teacher Association) to become involved. Parents who have recently taken a leadership role in this group are needing to relinquish these responsibilities. The P.T.A. performs very important roles in fund-raising and supporting school events. Without the work of this group of parents, many events that the children really look forward to will not happen. So – please give careful consideration to becoming involved and come along on Monday 14 May to find out what it is all about. KEEPFIT KIDS: There is still room for more children to join this after-school programme. Contact Chris 533 5224 or 021 269 5023, if you would like to enroll your child. SCHOOL BANK ACCOUNT: We are in the process of changing our school bank account. Parents wishing to pay the school via internet banking are asked to use the following account number from now on: 12 3089 0444444 00
FAMILY MATHS: Starting Tuesday 15 May in Room 10. There is still room for more families to join this programme. Contact Barbara Carr on 576 9855 and leave a message on the answerphone or phone her mobile 021 1715723, for more information.
