School Student Self Defence – Aims

Our Aim is to provide schools and students the skills to avoid violence and enhance a preventative, proactive attitudes and behaviours. The principle outcomes of the personal safety sessions is that students feel more positive about what they ‘can do’, gaining appropriate and empowering verbal and physical skills to respond positively to potentially violent and dangerous situations.

The skills gained reduce the possibility of a student either passively accepting or conversely reacting in an overly negative violent manner to threatening or intimidating behaviour. Outcomes for program participants include:

• Developed awareness and prevention skills to reduce the likelihood of being attacked and understanding threatening body language
• Fear / crisis management skills so students become empowered and more positive in uncertain situations with better decision making skills to find an escape plan if required.
• Use of a range of safety strategies that reduce confusion and fear.
