SAPSASA

Student in years 4-6 are given opportunities to participate in SAPSASA (SA Primary Sport Association SA) sports throughout the school year. Truro Primary School has strong connections with the Truro Takers Basketball Club, as a result we have students participate in SAPSASA District Basketball Carnival each year.

Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum

 The Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum (KS:CPC) is required for all students in our school. It’s taught each year by the Health & PE teacher, integrated within the Health curriculum. Some aspects of CPC is also integrated in Technologies through our cyber safety program. Teachers who teach CPC have completed a full-day KS:CPC training course.  

It teaches children to: 

  • recognise abuse and tell a trusted adult about it 
  • understand what touching is appropriate and inappropriate  
  • understand ways of keeping themselves safe.
