Thanks for Kyabram P-12 College for inviting us along to their Future You Day to run some self defence classes.

We had 2 fast action packed sessions giving 2 fantastic groups of students a short taste of self defence education covering awareness, safety, prevention and physical escape techniques.

Anytime we get the opportunity to provide valuable information like today is a great day and lots of fun too.

Some great basic tips for safety when walking anywhere 👍👍

💥80% of women feel unsafe when walking alone ‼️

Here’s some safer strategies you can implement to help you stay safer :

✅Walk with a friend wherever possible
✅Be conscious of your surroundings
✅Look like you know where you are going
✅Always listen to your intuition
✅Let loved ones know the route you are taking & time you expect to arrive
✅Walk towards the direction of oncoming traffic
✅If you feel you are being followed, take evasive action immediately
✅ Plan ahead for a safe haven - where there are more people or lighter areas (shop, restaurant, petrol station)

‼️Avoid having your earphones in (your hearing is a key survival sense)
‼️Don’t be transfixed on your phone
‼️Avoid having your hood up (your peripheral vision is diminished)
‼️Avoid taking short cuts through alleys, or places that are secluded
‼️Don’t walk too close to hedges or parked cars or vans
‼️Don’t switch off just because you are close to home
‼️Don’t assume you are safe just because it’s daylight or CCTV is in operation

We hope this helps …

Be safe 👍

Self defence begins with prevention, awareness and vigilence.

Unfortunately the world is not always how we would wish it to be. Predators are out there and its very easy to unwittingly post information online about your children that can potentially expose a their identity, location, and other personal details to a wider audience than intended, putting them at risk for cyberbullying, identity theft, and even potential exploitation by predators.

Here's a few suggestions for what you could do instead when sharing school pictures online.

Use a private group - to share photos with close family and friends, consider sharing them through a private messaging platform or with a limited group of trusted contacts.

Be mindful of details - avoid posting photos that include a child's full name, age, school name, school logos, or other identifying information.

Check privacy settings: regularly review your social media privacy settings to ensure that only authorized people can see your child's photos.

These are just a few ideas to help keep your child safe. Mindfulness is key.

As Victorian students prepare to return to school, police have warned parents to be vigilant for predators, revealing the hidden risks in posting photos to social media. > https://bit.ly/3WBJ31T

Thank you for asking us to be a part of your wonderful program - we really enjoyed the time we spent with your students. From what the girls presented today, we can see the difference the whole program has made in them. We loved the self defence presentation and really enjoyed talking with some of the girls about their art.

Looking forward to joining you again next year. 😊
