000 Classroom

Triple Zero (000) is Australia’s primary emergency number for requesting assistance from Police, Fire, or Ambulance services. Knowing when and how to call Triple Zero (000) is an important life skill that every child should learn. The Triple Zero Classroom Challenge is a comprehensive educational resource that provides Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 students with the essential knowledge and skills they need to become competent, confident and responsible users of the Triple Zero (000) emergency service number. There are many examples, from both Australia and overseas, where children as young as four years old have played a pivotal role in saving lives and property by calling Triple Zero and providing the information needed to obtain help. We hope that by teaching the children about emergencies and the procedures for calling Triple Zero they too will be a ‘Triple Zero Hero’ should the need ever arise.
