Water Safety

Teaching your kids about being safe in, on and around the water is really important. It is important to also remember that this can be done in ways other than just spending time in the water.

Have you considered sitting down with your kids and getting them to draw pictures reflecting their water safety ideas? This would be a great activity to do over the school holidays or the weekend. Our environment changes all the time with heavy rain and stormy weather so being aware of these things could make a big difference to your safety.
