There are three schools booked in to have a visit from Life Education's Health Harold with New Medinah College on October 13-14, Young Public School on October 15-22 and Young North Public School on October 20-November 4.
The lovable and helpful giraffe is now allowed back in schools after the NSW Government announcement that incursion bans were lifted from Monday, June 15.
"Healthy Harold is excited to be heading back to school to see children face-to-face," a Life Education spokesperson said.
Although the Life Education online program has been very popular children have been missing seeing Healthy Harold in person with many NSW schools reaching out to the organisation to find out when face-to-face lessons would begin again.
Life Education is Australia's largest provider of preventive health education to school children.
"With the help of our iconic mascot Healthy Harold the giraffe, Life Education has been empowering children and young people to make safer and healthy choices for more than 40 years," the spokesperson said.
"In NSW we work in more than 1800 schools and preschools with approximately 290,000 school children participating in our program each year.
"Our 60 specially trained educators visit students across the state via our 44 mobile classrooms, three pop-up classrooms, and online resources."
