The Safety House Program WA is a local community program that
- Provides a safe place for children.
- It provides children with the skills and confidence to feel safe.
- Provides a network of safe places for children within the community. A distinctive yellow smiling house logo allows children to easily recognise an approved safety house as a safe place to go when they feel scared or threatened.
- A map of the current Safety Houses in our community is available for download.

The Safety House Association WA was set up in October 1983 and is an incorporated Association with support and cooperation from the Department of Education and the WA Police. Thanks to the P&C and Mrs Abby Albert, we have reinvigorated our Safety House Program across our school community. Through Abby’s leadership, we currently have 8 Safety Houses with the distinctive Ima logo on their letterbox. This year, we would love to get another couple of safety houses signed up, especially on or close by to the following streets that are regularly used by our students walking to and from school: Bluegum, Timbercrest, Murdoch Dr, Towncentre and Kurrajong.
A Safety Householder must be a caring adult/s who are generally in, around or near their home during school travel times (8-9am and 3-4pm Monday to Friday). But yes, you can still pick up and drop off your kids/grandkids during this time, and no, you don’t have to be there every day. Even if it’s just 3-4 days per week, that is fine. The caring adults must also have a current Working with Children’s Card to ensure they are checked out and deemed safe. If you don’t have one, we can easily help you apply for one, and it only costs $11 for 3 years. If you want to become a Safety House for our school or have some extra questions, please contact the front office for more information!
All classrooms have a map outlining where the Safety Houses are and how we use a safety house. Teachers regularly reinforce the safety house message and update the map as required. A map of our current safety houses is attached to the Week 2 newsletter. Should you wish to know more about the Safety House program, you can find it on their website: www.safetyhousewa.org.au. Thank you to members of the community who have volunteered their residence as
a Safety House, providing our students with a safe place to stop should they be concerned.
