As part of our PDHPE curriculum, the Life Education Van visited school once again this year. Topics were carefully chosen by teachers and reflected the age and maturity of the children. Themes included everything from friendships to cyber safety. Our educators Louise and Gail presented the sessions in a lively, hands on way and of course there was Healthy Harold to help share the message!

Should children wear uniforms to school?
I believe that we should wear uniforms to school. Firstly, without uniforms you wouldn’t be safe! For example, if you went to an excursion and you weren’t wearing a uniform, your teacher perhaps couldn’t find you.
