Wk 7 Relfection

The self defence course

This Week the year 7 girls did A self defence course. We learnt what to do in different scary situations and good ways to deal with them. One of the things we learnt was to have a pass code for communication in your family. This means when you might not be feeling safe you send your parents or family member this pass code so they can help or come and get you. Its good because its lets them know if you are not feeling safe.
