FREE water safety workshop for early childhood educators

Barbara Venville-Gibbons from Drowning Prevention Auckland

How can we help keep our under-5s, the family and whanau safer around water? How could every day water activities in an early childhood setting, and the local environment, be used to develop safer practices around water? These are some of the questions we will be discussing at a water safety professional learning and development workshop we are holding for early childhood educators on 28 June, at Highland Park.

When: 6.15 - 7.45 pm, Wednesday 28 June.
Where: Highland Park Community House, Aviemore Drive.

The workshop will be delivered by Aquatic Educator Lynley Stewart, an experienced and registered teacher. All participants will receive a copy of the Stay With Me Around Water teaching kit and Fishing with Papa big book. Full details on the attached flyer, click on the link to register online now.
