Waterproof your students this Summer Season!

Every year the statistics confirm that death by drowning is all too common in New Zealand. We are twice as likely to be involved in a water related fatality as those accross the tasman in Australia. Sadly many of these drownings involve children and young adults. When it comes to recreational water activities there is a lot that can be done to reduce this toll. One of the best investments we can make in water safety is through education.

The SPLASH SAFEeducational magic show

My name is Andy Walker and I am an educational entertainment specialist. I have developed this performance as a fun way school children can learn about the dangers they face around water. Here is what other teachers have been saying about the Splash Safe performance:

 

"I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Your presentation, sense of humour and drama skills are excellent. You are able to keep the children's attention and teach them your safety message without them even realising it."
Mary Snowden, Edmonton Primary School, Te Atatu

"Excellent involvement of children. (Andy) brought in all the relevant water safety messages, and in a fun and memorable way. He had a really good rapport with the kids and so they really switched on and took in the safety messages. He was really funny!! The teachers loved it as much as the children. Terrific change from the rather 'dry' usual Beach Education programme. Highly, highly recommended. The kids remembered all the safety measures. It incorporated everything we normally learn at Beach Day but in just one hour and in such an enjoyable way. I much prefer it to Beach Day."
Paul Green, Nelson Park School, Napier

"Wonderful performance involving the children. Excellent supporting material. We learnt lots."
Yvonne Whaea, Huamoana School, Hawkes Bay

"The magical elements of the show, together with the full audience participation held the children's interest throughout. I would like to recommend the 'Splash Safe' magic show by Andy Walker to any organisation that may be considering reinforcing the need for children's safety in the water"
Tony Wilson, Senior Psychologist, Special Education Service

Learning Outcomes

This show makes it easy for primary school children understand the many subtle dangers water can pose. Many children will be exposed to dangers they don't understand & knowing what to be aware of is the best way to stay safe.

The importance of having somebody with them while swimming or just playing around water
Simple procedures they can take to keep their own home swimming pool or spa pool safe
Drowning is a real danger; it could happen to you or someone you know
How to spot a safe place at the beach for swimming
The meaning of surf lifesaving flags
Three ways to identify a rip current
What to do if caught in a rip current
How to identify a swimmer in distress
A simple boating safety check list
The importance of wearing a lifejacket and how they work
How to identify a correct fitting life jacket and what happens if you wear one the wrong size

And that's just the beginning. Each performance is tailored to the particular age group of your pupils. Most schools will have their junior and senior pupils watch separate performances. That way each show presentation can be geared to their level. With mixed age groups all of the pupils are involved in the performance. Junior students will find the fast pace of the show stimulating. Senior students will receive plenty of ideas and questions to fully involve them as well as challenging them to stop and think. The humour and magical illusions are carefully selected to ensure each age group maintains a high level of interest throughout the lessons.

It is easy

To have the Splash Safe performance visit your school all you will need is a comfortable place for your students to sit down. You don't have to do any work. I will provide all of the equipment, props, lifejackets for the children to try on and a powerful PA sound system. The show can take place in your hall, gym, library or even outside under the shade of a tree.

If your own teachers developed water safety lessons as comprehensive as this for their classes it would take them each many hours to prepare. This show has already been fine tuned by hundreds of performances at schools just like yours. Numerous teachers comment to me that they are amazed the children learn so much in less than 1 hour.

With the show you will also receive a bonus water safety activity pack on CD-ROM. This resource contains classroom activities that can be used as a review to help cement what your students will learn during the performance.

100% Money Back Guarantee...

If you're not completely satisfied, just tell me and you won't owe me a cent. Out of the hundreds of shows I've done, no one has ever, ever requested their money back. But I do give you the guarantee so that you can feel completely confident with your decision to go ahead with this.
