STUDENTS WORKSHOP | TOPIC : GOOD TOUCH AND BAD TOUCH | GRADE I-IV

“Teaching Children about good touch and bad touch is like giving them the keys to their own safety and empowerment.”

St. John’s School is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its students. In line with this commitment, a workshop on “Good Touch and “Bad Touch” was conducted for students in Grades 1 to 4. The primary objective of the workshop was to educate young students about personal boundaries, consent, and how to differentiate between safe and unsafe physical interactions.

The workshop included interactive sessions using age-appropriate visual aids and storytelling, making it engaging and relatable for the young audience. Students were taught to differentiate between good touches, like hugs from loved ones, and bad touches, such as those that make them uncomfortable. The importance of asking for consent before touching someone and how to communicate their feelings and concerns were emphasized. Students were informed about the trusted adults within the school and at home whom they could approach if they ever faced an uncomfortable situation. Role playing exercises were conducted to help students practice scenarios involving good and bad touch, reinforcing what they had learned.

The “Good Touch and Bad Touch” workshop at St. John’s School was a vital step in ensuring the safety and well-being of our young students. It aimed to equip them with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect themselves and to foster a safe and supportive environment within the school community.St.John’s school remains dedicated to educating and nurturing its students, not only academically but also emotionally and socially.
