Children in Year 6 attended Crucial Crew on Friday 6th June to learn about the kind of everyday hazards that they need to be aware of for their transition to Year 7.  Crucial Crew is vital for developing their life skills as they grow older and become more independent and a member of their local community.

In the photos below, children are experiencing the hazards of alcohol – without alcohol, of course!  They are wearing eyesight impairment goggles and are having to carry out simple actions.

During the day, children also learned about hazards in their local environment: water safety, fire safety, electrical safety, alcohol and vapes.  They learned how to behave near railway lines and the dangers of fast moving trains.  The police spoke to them about their responsibilities in the community and how the police become involved.  The farming community showed them how dangerous large machinery is and how to behave around it.

Lastly, they met a host of children from a range of other schools who were also in Year 6 and who will also be transitioning to secondaries in the area in September.
