Keeping Ourselves Safe Programme
A booklet to support the Keeping Ourselves Safe (KOS) programme will be given out to each family in the junior school today. We recently held a parent consultation meeting at school with the support of our police education officer Constable Carrie Hamilton.
Keeping Kids Safer is a guide book to help parents and caregivers keep their children safe from all forms of abuse. It provides information about abuse, suggestions as to how you can help your children avoid abuse, what you should do if you think your child has been abused and where you can find further information and help. It is also important that you support the teaching of Keeping Ourselves Safe at your child’s school. This means making sure that you help your child with any home tasks that are set. Talk to your child about what they learnt at school and reinforce these messages at home.
If any other families would like a copy of the guide sent home to junior school families, please contact the principal jjackson@stjoseph.school.nz
Lost Property
There is a large amount of unclaimed and unnamed clothing in the lost property room. Anything not claimed will be recycled tomorrow. There are a lot of jackets, jerseys, sun hats and warm up clothing in there. Please be vigilant in naming any clothing that your child owns including renaming any second hand clothing. Any queries, please ring the office.

Good luck to our 3 competitors, Hotili Asi, Max Fatafehi and Sebastian Spillane who are competing at the Otago Cross Country champs tomorrow.
