Child Safety Programmes at AJPS
AJPS has always kept ‘Child Safety’ at the helm. It has always perceived child safety as the quintessence of school ethos and disposition. In light of the above facts, AJPS has regularly initiated multiple Child Safety Programmes which are presented to the parent as well as the student community. These child safety programmes have been designed by experts and stalwarts from the educational arena. Quite notably, each of these programmes cater specifically to the sensibilities of the grades each child belongs to. The children belonging to the Foundational and Preparatory Stage are hand held to explain the concepts, while the children of Middle and Secondary stage are made abreast with the facts, with a different set of teaching methodologies and techniques.
The Child Safety Programmes are based on an interactive interface wherein questions are encouraged and an apt query resolution is emphatically presented. For the Foundational and Preparatory Stage, important concepts like- Safety at home, Road safety, Stranger is Danger, Good touch and Bad touch are elaborately covered. Since the children belonging to this stage are equipped with lower sensibilities, each concept is broken down into more simplified and easy concepts, to enable a learning experience which is lucid in its nature.
The Child Safety Programmes for the Middle and Secondary stage is more comprehensive and detailed in its approach. Children are made aware about unwarranted circumstances like reckless behaviour, click baits and are thoroughly taught on handling these situations with aplomb. The concepts go much deeper wherein children are divided into focus groups deliberating on the vices related to self-sabotage and self-doubt. The Child Safety Programmes have been transformational in changing perspectives of students and embracing -Responsible behaviour, Moral values and ethics ,Self-awareness, Self-motivation and conscientiousness.
We are delighted to share some of the extraordinary feedback and appreciation we have received from our parents and student community towards the path breaking AJPS Child Safety Programmes.
Parents Feedback- AJPS Child Safety Programmes
1. Was the Child Safety Programme impactful?
- Yes, very impactful.
- Yes it was very effective. I personally participated along with my kids. The examples given were easy to understand from the children’s point of view. The teacher’s explanation was quite good.
- Yes, the kids got a good chance to learn about their safety.
- It gets difficult to explain such things to kids verbally at home. When someone in authority like a teacher explains it to them with demonstration using images/videos it creates a deep impact and makes them remember the importance of safety for a long time.
2.What were the important learning outcomes?
- My child has understood to behave in the right way with strangers.
- After the session my kid is able to identify and explain what is right and what is wrong. For example, when we were at traffic signal, she asked me to stop before the zebra line. If any strangers are knocking at the door she is informing instead of opening the door.
- My daughter is more aware of safety guidelines now – she follows them while she is in the kitchen, playing outside, crossing street and dealing with strangers. She was seen explaining in her own words to her peers in the neighbourhood what was taught at school, making them aware too!
