This week the Year 1 class enjoyed a fantastic excursion to the Constable Care Safety School. The safety school is a purpose-built facility that includes a realistic layout of Perth’s streets. The boys had lots of practical opportunities to learn pedestrian, bicycle and public transport safety skills and especially loved stopping their bikes at the ‘real’ train boom gates.

The boys learnt many interesting facts:

• Did you know that you should be 145cm tall before you no longer need to sit in a booster seat?
• Children shouldn’t sit in the front seat because the airbags can break their noses, give them concussions, or even cause suffocation.
• You are only meant to go ONE WAY around a roundabout!

The boys are now busy making posters to share some important safety messages, beginning with bike safety. Keep an eye out for them around the school!
