We are also looking forward to having the Firefighters visit our school in Week 6 - the students will be learning about how to be fire wise and what to do when there is a fire at school or at home.
Our final topic is Keeping Ourselves Safe, also known as KOS. This is a programme where students talk about different ways to keep ourselves safe and who we can trust to help us.
