Two primary schools in Kent have been helped by Rye and District Lions Club, whose area extends from Rye into Kent to Hawkhurst. The Lions in the UK produce a series of Life Skills teaching materials for school children on various subjects, possibly not normally part of the curriculum, such as how to deal with changes such as family breakdown and bereavement, alcohol, sexual health and drug abuse. Also teaching aids are produced to help children gain confidence, responsibility, develop relationships and to make the most of their abilities. The total of 25 aids are designed for specific age groups, such as 3 to 5 years old, 5 to 11 years and 11 to 18 years old. Many are interactive and can be easily photocopied for hand-outs and project work. Copies of the “Life Changes” teaching aid have been presented to Mr Edgesmith, Head Teacher of Sandhurst Primary School and to Miss Rock, Deputy Head, at Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School.

All primary and senior schools in Rye Lions area have been supplied with many of these teaching aids by the Lions at no cost to the schools.LIfe
