New Personal Safety Program for Young People

 We’ve all been busy here finalising our new personal safety program for the pre-teens, “STREETSKILLS“.   The new program is all about pre-teens ,grade 5 & 6 kids (and year 7),  planning for their safety under the guidance of their parents.  We will provide workshops for the parent and child to attend together where they’ll cover improving self confidence and assertiveness training, planning and practising for increased independence, cyber bullying, and internet safety.  Best of all, kids and parents will do this together so both can decide together what’s the right amount of independence for their family and the individual child. 

We will be launching “STREETSKILLS“   in October 2009 but we haven’t decided on a date and venue, so it will be ready to start delivering in fourth term.  We’re hoping the website will be operating by the end of August so there will be plenty of information available then.
