Protective Behaviours

Each class runs Protective Behaviours Programs, which include Safe4Kids and Protective Behaviours WA. These programs are child-focused and informed by a fundamental belief that children have a right to physical and psychological safety at all times. We teach our students that ‘we all have the right to feel safe, all of the time’. We believe in providing the students with clear messages regarding inappropriate behaviour. We teach the students how to identify safe and unsafe situations and how to seek help immediately - and to persist in seeking help until they feel safe again.

Children are taught the ‘Circles’ concept.  This assists the student to group people within colour-coded circles of interaction. This allows the student to learn appropriate behaviours that could be used with people within each coloured circle, for example, the Purple Circle is taught to be a private space, and others should not come into your 'purple circle'.
