The program has lifeguards come and speak to students about water safety, what they should be mindful of in different situations (ie:beach/pool/open water) and what to do if they get into trouble. Although PE lessons involving water would be carefully monitored it is important that students are aware of dangers and equipped with necessary skills for water safety in life. Please see the link below about the program (the tab on the right allows access to water safety tips, games and activity sheets) ]]> 2018-08-28 06:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/b1dwzj7m51j0/wish/275778270 katp1010 https://padlet.com/kim_balnaves/b1dwzj7m51j0/wish/275781026 As the scenario could include walking to and from the lesson I thought I would look into walking tips and road safety.  This link is more focussed on children who walk independently, but could form a safety check/ reminder before leaving the school grounds.

Common hazards are: fractures of upper and lower limbs, dislocations, contusions, tendonitis, muscle tear and cuts. Curiously, boys experience such injuries more frequently than girls.

In the event of an emergency the department is aware of any school children in the area and can pass this information to emergency services. In some situations this may mean the excursion is contacted and given a set time limit to leave the area of concern after which they will be forced into 'lockdown' and would have to remain were they where until such time as the threat has passed - something I didn't realise and hadn't ever really thought about!
