This week, Year 6 welcomed James Riley, a former probation officer, into school for the first of four daily workshops. He runs the Get Away 'n' Get Safe Prevention Programme with the aim to educate, inspire and empower young people to take control of their future by rejecting the gang lifestyle.
Stay Safe N Get Away
Mon 15th - Wed 17th Jan
Mon 15th - Wed 17th Jan
In the three sessions, James inspires Year 6 with empowering messages to make good choices & shows examples of the consequences of gang membership. Key messages are 'Be brave and confident to make the right choice' and 'Make good choices, don't have regrets'.
Mon 15th - Wed 17th Jan
James shares a number of key messages with the children and challenges them to remember them. Our most important tool is our brain to help us to think carefully to make the right choices. It is better to walk alone than be in a crowd going in the wrong direction. Well done to the chocolate orange winners for being brave and remembering.
