Safety Assist Visit

Today we had Rona from Safety Assist visit our school as a part of our Safety unit of inquiry. She talked to us and explained how Safety Assist houses/ places in our community can help to keep us safe. Safety Assist used to be known as Safety Houses.

Rona explained that Safety Assist places always show the red and yellow signs in their windows, on  letterboxes or on street signs, there is a smily face on the signs. Rona also explained that if you are feeling unsafe, feel threatened, are lost or need help for some reason you can go into a Safety Assist place and they will help you.

Places that offer Safety Assist help can be:

  • Fire stations
  • Police stations
  • houses
  • shops
  • schools
  • Public Libraries
  • Australia Post Offices
  • businesses
  • Surf Life Saving patrol bases
  • Banks

These places will get help for you straight away and make sure you are safe very quickly.

  1. Tonight while drying the dishes, Ben told me that he should be wearing gloves to protect his hands while drying the dishes – just in case a glass breaks!
    I learnt something new!

  2. I didn’t know that there were Safety Houses in our Area and its great that Aiden told us what they are for.
    We have gotten so much information from Aiden about being safe. Its been great learning for all of us and we have even looked at our fire plan for our house
    Thanks our whole family has been learning this term!
