In order to support the Child Protection Policy at AISB, all EC3 through Grade 5 students will receive Child Protection lessons by the end of November.
The purpose of the Child Protection Curriculum is to establish a safe environment in which children feel safe to report incidences of abuse, to empower students to feel confident in knowing and protecting their own rights, and to take away the secrecy that often surrounds abuse so that support can be provided. These lessons in no way are meant to scare or alarm students. The lessons tie closely to the social-emotional skills the children are already learning in the classrooms.
More information about the Child Protection Curriculum for your child’s specific grade level can be found on your child's Grade Level Weebly.
Parent support with this important curriculum is needed. Your children may want to discuss with you questions or thoughts they have regarding the lessons. Below you will find articles that provide helpful tips on how to support and talk with your children about Child Protection matters. As always, if you need further support talking with your children or answering their questions, please contact your child's counselor.
