A Situational Awareness designed for School Kids

A practical, kid-friendly safety program for classrooms, excursions, and everyday life.

​

Have you ever…

• watched kids walk out a school gate and realised how quickly they can get distracted?

• noticed students crossing a carpark without looking up from a conversation, a ball, or a phone?

• had that moment on an excursion where one child drifts a few metres away and your stomach drops?

• seen kids miss the obvious signs that something “isn’t quite right” — a stranger acting oddly, a dog off-lead, a crowded space, a changing mood in a group?

• wished there was a simple way to teach kids to look, listen, notice, and choose safer options—without scaring them?
   

Lookout exists for those moments.

It gives kids a clear, age-appropriate skillset to be more aware of their surroundings, recognise risk early, and make safer decisions—whether they’re in the bush, at the park, walking to school, or navigating busy public spaces.

​

Why schools choose Lookout

1) It builds real-world safety skills (without fear)

Kids don’t need scary stories—they need practical habits:

• noticing exits and safe places

• spotting “something different” (anomalies)

• staying connected to the group

• understanding how distraction increases risk

• listening to their body signals (gut feel, stress, confusion)
   

Lookout teaches awareness as a confidence skill, not a panic skill.

​

2) It’s easy for teachers to run (and easy for kids to remember)

You get structured lessons and activities that work in:

• classrooms

• assemblies

• school yards

• camps and excursions

• transitions (bus lines, gates, carparks)

No specialist gear. No complex setup. Just a repeatable format that sticks.

​

3) It reduces preventable incidents by improving attention and decision-making

Most “near-misses” happen when kids:

• rush

• follow the crowd

• get distracted

• assume an adult will catch it

Lookout trains kids to pause, scan, and think—quickly and naturally. 

​

4) It supports student wellbeing and self-regulation

Situational awareness isn’t just external—it’s internal too. Students learn to recognise:

• when they’re tired, overwhelmed, angry, or distracted

• when that state makes them less safe

• how to reset quickly (breathing, grounding, “eyes up”)

That’s a life skill that helps in the classroom and beyond.

​

5) It works for different ages and learning needs

Lookout can be delivered with simple adjustments across:

• early primary

• upper primary

• secondary (with deeper discussion and scenarios)

Activities include movement, games, discussion, and reflection—so it reaches more learners.
