Year 1 & 2 Health - Keeping Safe Unit - Australian Curriculum

Empower your students with this comprehensive 10-lesson Year 1/2 Health unit focused on protective behaviours, help-seeking strategies and personal safety, fully aligned to the Australian Curriculum. Throughout the unit, students practise strategies they can use when they feel uncomfortable, unsafe or need help with a task or problem, building the confidence and skills to seek, give or deny permission respectfully and stay safe.

Designed for a full term of explicit Health instruction, this engaging and practical unit helps young learners develop personal safety awareness, assertive communication skills and responsible decision-making in age-appropriate, supportive ways.

An alternative WA Curriculum planner (2026+) is also included, making this unit ideal for Western Australian teachers preparing for the new requirements.

Why Teachers Love This Unit

✩ Complete 10-Lesson Program (Perfect for a Full Term)

This unit includes 10 carefully sequenced lessons filled with engaging discussions, role-plays, cooperative activities and purposeful worksheets. Each lesson builds students’ understanding of safety, consent and help-seeking in clear, manageable steps.

✩ Clear, Structured and Time-Saving

Every lesson follows a simple five-to-six step structure, providing clarity and consistency. Explicit teaching notes highlight key concepts so you can focus on student engagement and meaningful skill development rather than planning from scratch.

✩ Editable PowerPoint

Teach confidently using the editable PowerPoint, allowing you to personalise examples, adjust language and deliver lessons in your own teaching style.

✩ Engaging & Practical Learning

Mrs Amy123 is known for creating interactive, student-centred lessons. Through role-play, discussion and cooperative learning strategies, students actively practise protective behaviours and help-seeking skills. Not every lesson relies on worksheets; this intentional design ensures authentic learning experiences and real-life application.

✩ Assessment Made Simple

An included editable A–E grading guide clearly outlines expectations based on two key assessment tasks and is directly linked to the Year 1/2 Achievement Standard. Assess with clarity and confidence.
