There is a new Superhero in the School: get acquainted – School Officer

From now children will have one more mentor. Serhij Bahalik – a patrol policeman – took up the post of a personal sheriff in the Superheroes School. This has been planned as a part of the fantastic project “School Officer”, which was implemented by the Patrol Police and the Embassy of Canada in Ukraine. All this is done in order for the children to feel safe, learn how to avoid conflicts and manage to protect themselves in any situation. 

From now on, Serhij Bahalik is one of the most anticipated guest in the Superheroes School. However, the only thing that frightens the children is that the officer only comes once a week. Serhij is absolutely sure that it is worth talking on equal terms with children and first of all as a friend. No authority and power can give rise to enthusiasm and sincere trust. It is important to find a way to the kids, to penetrate the stories and interests of the children.

A school officer teaches children not only the basics of law and order but also organises chess parties every time. Such games usually turn into a warm conversation from eye to eye, during which children can ask everything they care about, share their fears, joys, ideas and consult with a true police officer. Chess, friendship and good deeds – our school sheriff became another hero of the School. We are grateful and happy that all together we can satisfy the appetite of the kids for knowledge and communication.
