Verbal response: Staying safe
Summary of task
Students identified feelings in day-to-day activities and distinguished between safe and unsafe situations. Students identified and explained warning signs and how to take action to keep themselves safe in their small rural community.
Students were asked to tell the teacher how they could keep themselves safe while at school, down the street and at a local sporting event. This conversation was recorded in writing or as an audio conversation depending on what the student felt comfortable with. The teacher directed the conversation by asking questions that prompted the student to identify how they would know if they were feeling unsafe, and protective behaviours they could use in each setting.
This assessment task relates to the focus areas: safety, relationships and sexuality, and mental health and wellbeing.
