Life Education Australia annual review 2O1O - Hunter Life Education

VICTORIALife Education partnered with 619 schools andsupported a total of 126,780 studentsSt Albans Heights Primary School, BrimbankI attended a forum in 1988 and became involved with Life Education. I have beenat three schools and Harold has visited all of them. Life Education brings a differentperspective to drug and health education that my staff cannot, due to lack oftraining and professional learning. It gives them a starting point to continue thesenecessary lessons which provide students with the knowledge to make sounddecisions and lead a healthy life. My students receive quality, contemporary drug andhealth education from a professional. Healthy Harold gives the kids “someone” torelate to, who’s fun and instils in them the knowledge to make healthy choices.It provides our staff with a starting point in focusing on healthy children - who areenthralled by the Mobile Learning Centre. Someone needs to impart the knowledgeand the message that illicit drugs are not good for us and that we can and shouldlead fruitful, healthy lives and not be dependent on damaging substances - LifeEducation fills that criteria.George Kalandadse, PrincipalAnd from studentsWe love Healthy Harold, the Mobile Learning Centre and learning about a healthylife and body. Harold teaches us things in an easy way to understand. He gives usinformation about things that we shouldn’t do. He’s healthy and a caring friend.Harold is cute! We want to know - How tall are you?
