Health & Wellbeing Programmes:

Year 10 students are attending a LIFE Education Trust Presentation 'SMASHED' today, equipping rangatahi to make safe decisions around alcohol.

Life Education provides schools with interactive learning experiences - providing schools with specialised lessons that align with the New Zealand Curriculum and the Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy.

SMASHED uses live theatre and workshops to engage students on the dangers of underage drinking - including potential impact of drinking on relationships with peers and adults; academic results and aspirations; anti-social behaviour and violence, as well as accident and injury.

Facilitators and students work through strategies for resisting peer influence and informed decision-making.
