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 70 students enrolled in CSU’s early childhood education degree will present hands-on learning experiences and displays to 70 children between Kindergarten and Year 2, who will practise snake awareness, healthy eating, escaping an imaginary fire, and will even discover how get a good nights sleep. "CSU students are involved in 'hands on' teaching and learning with the local community. The students researched their topics with the help of local community professionals and prepared interactive experiences for the young 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, Angela Fenton, from CSU’s School of Education. West Albury Public School will host the Health and Safety Education Expo between 9.30 and 11.00am on Friday 13 September.
