Master Smythe has delivered this program at Elia Middle School for the past 13 years. It continues to be relevant and vital to our students. Master Smythe engages students through interactive and real life scenarios, thus enabling them to deal with societal pressures they may encounter. The students participate in activities that simulate everyday conflicts. They are equipped with the knowledge to make conscientious and safe decisions. The Olympian Safety Program is an asset to our school. |

Master Smythe has brought his empowering life saving safety program to our school for almost a decade. His enthusiastic and unique teaching style has captivated and energized our students. They were highly motivated to learn the essential skills needed to keep themselves safe in a variety of challenging environments. The safety journals produced by each student were informative and skillfully done. Master Smythe's ability to relate and meet the needs of our diverse student population was most impressive. |

This year, we began our school year with a week featuring Master Smythe and The Olympian Safety Program. This is the best gift we can give our children. Master Smythe teaches and models respect and we all wish he could become a permanent member of our staff! When Master Smythe has the children repeat "I will respect my parents and teachers because they are the givers of knowledge", all the teachers know that an important ally is in our school. All that week, he was out and about during recesses, talking to the children and sharing his ideas and beliefs about respect.
Thank you for an excellent program and come back soon! |

Your presentation is timely in assisting students with strategies to protect themselves if confronted by threatening circumstances. There was not one instance of students misusing the knowledge they gained through inappropriate activity in the school yard. |

Our students were thrilled with the program and very responsive to the instructor. The written component is a valuable and important facet of the learning. Parents were extremely enthusiastic and supportive of the program and wish to re-book this coming year for extended teaching. The real proof of its value lies in the fact that two children have been in potentially difficult and dangerous situations and immediately used strategies taught by the program six months earlier. |
