2005 Safety in School Week
Striving for Safety in 2005!
HOW SAFE IS YOUR SCHOOL?
13th to 17th June 2005
Why "Safety in Schools Week" and injury prevention is important. . . . . .
Each year MORE children die from injury than die from Cancer, Asthma and Infectious Disease combined!
How many children are injured in your school in a week?
"Safety in Schools Week" can help reduce the incident of injury through education. It encourages schools to address safety in a holistic manner, using the Health Promoting Schools Framework, and activities linked to the Curriculum Framework.
Safety in Schools Week 2005 is a co-ordinated by Kidsafe WA, with the support of Department of Consumer & Employment Protection (WorkSafe), Department of Health and the Department of Education and Training. The 2005 Main sponsor is the PMH Foundation and the 2005 Competition sponsor is SGIO. Kidsafe WA has coordinated Safety in Schools Week since its inception in 1999.
Safety in Schools Week aims to provide a focus for injury prevention in primary schools and district high schools throughout Western Australia using a collaborative approach.
The collaborative approach to Safety in Schools Week develops partnerships with other organisations, government departments and business. "Safety in Schools Week" offers all Western Australian injury prevention agencies the opportunity to unite and present their injury prevention messages, resources and curriculum based activities to schools during one Safety in Schools Week.
The "Safety in Schools Week 2005" Blue resource folder contains safety and health activities from more than 20 WA health promotion agencies. Look out for your copy, which will be sent to your principal early next year! The resources will also be uploaded below as they become available.
