Our School feedbackNEW SOUTH WALESLife Education partnered with 1,775 schools andsupported a total of 296,995 studentsNewtown High School of the Performing Arts, SydneyWe first found out about Life Education via Royal Prince Alfred Hospital whenwe were looking for possible speakers. They have now been coming to NPA fortwo years. Their program offers advantages and benefits such as knowledge andinformation on how things impact directly on our students, and it supports ourPastoral Care and Welfare programs. It engages the students with current, relevantstatistics and information. I would welcome any opportunity to have Life Educationpresent to our Junior and Senior students.Stephen Gray, PrincipalAlma Public School, Broken HillLife Education has been coming to our school for one year, since I saw them atanother school. Their program reinforces the outcomes in our PDHPE curriculum. Thestudents are highly engaged in all the lessons they have in the Life Education van andthis enhances our school’s focus on healthy, drug free children. The van is a fantasticconcept and the students got so excited when it was in our school. It also reinforcesthe healthy eating and life style message that we try to instil in the students.Larry Micevski, PrincipalNewtown Performing ArtsSenior students showing theirenthusiasm after a visit from LifeEducation and Healthy Harold!NORTHERN TERRITORYLife Education partnered with 26 schools andsupported a total of 6,897 studentsSt Francis of Assisi Primary School, Humpty DooI heard about Life Education from a colleague. I like the choices and units availableand find that it is scaffolded throughout the year levels and brings a focus to whatwe are teaching and learning. Once we know what the topic is from Life Education,we go from there. Also in Term 3 after the LE visit, we begin a forum in which eachclass participates. We value the program and the presenter.Melanie Bolwell, Deputy PrincipalAnd from studentsWe really like Healthy Harold, the Mobile Learning Centre, learning about a healthylife and body and playing games on the website. We love Harold’s caravan, he’s funto play with and we like playing his games – he’s funny and really nice. He teachespeople not to touch drugs, and about drinking responsibly. Harold’s messages are:be careful around drugs, always eat healthy, be safe, be healthy, look after yourself,be responsible and live a healthy life, don’t smoke, don’t get drunk, do lots ofhealthy stuff.Harold with fans fromSt Francis of Assisi SchoolI’m your biggest fan, I’ll always be there for you. I like it when we get to see you andcome into your van, it’s cool. I try to be healthy all the time. I like to eat vegetablesand lots of healthy foods. Suzi came to visit today and she brought Healthy Harold,the real one, not the one on Suzi’s hand.10
QUEENSLANDLife Education partnered with 411 schools andsupported a total of 110,627 studentsBlackwater North State SchoolOur school really values the work of Life Education. Their key messages are tailoredin such a way that there is a strong alignment between a student’s social andemotional needs and the information delivered. On that note, it’s a true credit to LifeEducation that they are able to recruit such high performing educators to deliver theprogram. Their commitment and passion significantly enhances its value.I’m also impressed with the teacher resources provided by Life Education, whichprovide teachers with the opportunity to align their teaching practices in theclassroom to maximise student learning outcomes.I also think that the mobile learning centre is so important, especially to schools inremote areas. It provides our students with the same opportunity to participate inthis important program as children in more highly populated areas of the state.Landon Dare, PrincipalSOUTH AUSTRALIALife Education partnered with 314 schools andsupported a total of 50,023 studentsParacombe Primary SchoolI’ve been at this school for eight years and Life Education had been visiting since1990. The teachers choose to invite Life Education back every year. Life Educationbrings important, life long learning for the kids. It also brings a different perspectiveto drug and health education. It is the catalyst and the school follows up. It fitswithin the school curriculum; the school does work before and after the visit. It is apositive experience and includes issues like peer pressure and how to deal with it.The role plays conducted by the Life Education educator enhance the experience forthe students as they can relate to them.Healthy Harold is great for the younger kids and the sophisticated use of Haroldwith the upper primary students is appreciated. Life Education’s curriculum gives usa starting point. It’s good to get the message across while the students are young,and having Healthy Harold as a mascot makes the students look forward to seeinghim and the mobile van. The Life Education mobile classroom provides variety, it’sdifferent and special - it’s like an excursion without going anywhere.Bill Lewis, PrincipalAnd from students Carlie & Cameron - We thought Harold was fun, especiallywhen he tried to ‘eat us’ and we like how Life Ed talks differently to us about thesubjects we cover. When the van came to our school, our module was about Drugsand Alcohol and we really enjoyed hearing, Richard, our teacher. We learnt about ahealthy life and body in Year 6 and Harold also gave us advice about eating the rightfoods and about body hygiene. Every time Harold comes to our school he gives usmore information about things that we shouldn’t do when we are young. Haroldwants us to be responsible in regards to taking drugs, drinking alcohol and smoking.After the Life Education visit we went home and spoke to our parents about whatwe had learnt from Harold.Educator Casey Adams withstudents at Woorabinda PrimarySchool near BlackwaterPrincipal Bill Lewis, teacher Janineand Year 7 students Carlie &Cameron from Paracombe11
