Yellow Day at Umina

 

A Yellow Day will be held at Umina Public School on March 20, according to Safety House Program representative Ms Michelle Te Puia.

The Safety House program holds Yellow Days in public schools where Police attend to talk with children and teach them about the Safety House Program.

The children are provided with information to help them gain the skills and confidence to feel safe within the community, especially while travelling to and from school.

The aim is to provide the Kindergarten children with a "Safety House Bag" which includes all information about the Safety House and donations collected by local businesses.

"We are also holding a Yellow Day later in the year at Empire Bay Public School," Ms Te Puia said.

"We still require the help of a school representative from the local community to assist the Police with preparation for this program.

"This involves a small amount of time discussing and preparing for the Yellow Day with the P&C and liaison with our police rRepresentative.

"We are asking local businesses on the Peninsula to support this program with donations of stickers, food vouchers and raffle prizes."

For further information or to help with donations, contact 4342 3266 or 4341 1347.
