Growing Against Violence

On the 12th December 2017 Growing Against Violence and PC Wardlaw into school to talk to our Year 6 regarding various issues surrounding going to Secondary School.

Growing Against Violence is a charity organisation that teaches children about the dangers of gangs.  The speaker from the organisation spoke to the pupils about a number of topics including what they knew about gangs, myths surrounding gangs, online safety and staying safe after school.

The talk ended with the speaker talking to the children about places that they can go to seek help if they feel unsafe, or if they think that they need to discuss personal matters.

Quotes from the children are below

I thought I knew everything about gangs, but actually, I didn't  know very much

the talk was very interesting and I learnt some tips on staying safe after school.

 PC Wardlaw also visited our year six children to talk about safety when going to secondary school. 

PC Wardlaw talked to the pupils from the perspective of the police.  She shared with the children the importance of staying safe, internet safety,  the age of responsibility and that there are consequences for actions.
