The Constable Care Child Safety Foundation visited Tom Price and Paraburdoo primary schools on July 1-3, 2013.
Students from more than 20 classes were treated to a series of puppet shows and interactive plays aimed at promoting best-practice safety, crime prevention and citizenship education. It was all part of a travelling program that will be seen by over 150,000 children aged three to thirteen in more than 1100 schools and early learning centres right across WA.
This year, two new comedians were welcomed—Carl and Natalie—who played the various characters in the shows and were really well received in each school. Together they performed fun and insightful performances directed at two separate age groups—kindy to year 3 and years 4-7.
Constable Care performances have been a regular occurrence in the Shire of Ashburton. The performance themes are based around issues children face in everyday such as cultural diversity and tolerance, getting to school safely, bushfire survival, cyberbullying and internet safety.
The schools have the freedom to choose the themes that are performed relevant the age of the students. It has proven to be an invaluable tool for teaching our children safe, positive and constructive behaviour.
Since its inception 23 years ago, the foundation has improved the knowledge and attitudes of over 2 million Western Australian children.
