Healthy Harold's Hygiene Habits
No matter the time of year, our hygiene habits are so important for the health + wellbeing of the whole community.
We use the following posters as a key reminder to all staff, teachers, educators & students of the action we continually take to ensure the safety of all.
COVID-19 Update
Important messages from the CEO, Andrew Bennetto
Good news! We are returning in Term 4 to visit approximately 8,000 students in regional schools
Latest Update: 25th September 2020
|
Additionally, we have rescheduled all Term 4 Melbourne Metropolitan bookings to 2021. However we are still providing all schools with complimentary access to our online resources to help teachers deliver the Health and Physical Education Victorian curriculum. We have secured over 450 schools and conducted over 12,500 online sessions in Term 3 and the response from schools has been incredibly supportive and reinforces the importance of our work in the community. As Regional Victoria and Preschools have a different return to school plan, we will continue to go ahead with these bookings with our new In-Classroom Experience. This experience is much more COVID-safe for both our staff and each school. You can see our COVID-safe plan below. |

New Online Resources Released
Update: 18th May
I’m pleased to say that we are now releasing online resources from this week onwards.
To meet the needs of online or at-home learners, we have adapted three of our most popular modules in a new virtual offering - these modules are My Body Matter (Foundation- Level 2), bcyberwise (Levels 3 and 4) and Decisions (Levels 5 and 6). Each module is designed to run over 3 weeks. Thanks for all our supporters who have contributed funds to support the development of these critical resources.
Schools are now able to request access here.

Immediate Health & Wellbeing actions being taken in Schools
Updated - March 20 2020
I want to reassure you of the significant actions that we are taking - informed by the relevant authorities - to ensure your upcoming visit is as safe and effective as possible.
We continue to actively and regularly communicate with our Healthy Harold educators, who are taking several proactive measures to minimise any safety risk.
Some of the extra precautions our team is taking include:
- During sessions our team will use sanitising agents needed if students appear to be unwell.
- We will encourage minimal body contact and activities which promote students being in close proximity.
- In between sessions, we will open all doors and wipe all surfaces that were touched or handled by students including all door handles and railings.
- Some sessions may need to be delayed for a few minutes to ensure this is done properly.
- At the end of every work day all vans will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. This will include spraying the air with disinfectant spray; wiping down of all surfaces with disinfectant wipes or surfaces wiped down after spraying with a surface spray; all air conditioners will be disinfected and vacuumed; all floors will be vacuumed.
- Our educators will wash their hands frequently with soap and water and use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser, before and after each session.
- None of our staff will be participating in any face-to-face professional learning for the foreseeable future.
- Offering direct delivery for all modules. If you wish to choose direct delivery please email hello@lifeeducation.org.au
COVID-19 Safe Plan
Update: 23rd June - Healthy Harold is moving to In-Classroom Delivery for Term 3
To protect schools, communities and our educator team, all Healthy Harold bookings in Term 3 will be converted to In-Classroom.
Consequently, we will not be visiting any schools with our traditional mobile learning classroom to reduce potential risks and comply with all guidelines and recommendations surrounding COVID-19.
Our specialist facilitator will now deliver each module in a predetermined space within a school.
