Young minds for health and safety messages
1 JANUARY 2003
Exposing young school students to important health and safety messages is the focus of a cooperative effort between Charles Sturt University (CSU) and West Albury Primary School at the annual Health and Safety Education Expo. Around 80 students enrolled in CSU’s early childhood education degree will present hands-on learning experiences and displays to 80 children between Kindergarten and Year 2, who will practise storm survival, be healthy fruit master chefs, escape an imaginary fire, and discover how to be head lice busters. "Charles Sturt University students are involved in hands-on teaching and learning with the local community. The students researched their topics with the help of local professionals and prepared interactive experiences for the school children. The expo emphasises the importance of giving young children support to promote their own wellbeing from a very young age," said early childhood education lecturer, Ms Angela Fenton, from CSU’s Murray School of Education at Thurgoona. West Albury Public School will host the Health and Safety Education Expo between 2pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday 21 September.
