Life Education

Life Education Victoria is a community-based, independent organisation at the front line of positive and preventative drug and health education. Approximately 200,000 Victorian children and 18,000 families take part in the  programs each year.

Driven by the popular mascot Healthy Harold,  the programs aim to help young people to make informed decisions about drugs and their health.

Specialist educators, utilising their experience and training, work with schools to develop programs to support the provision of best-practice drug education.  Sessions are age specific and sequential with written and electronic resources provided to support both students and teachers in the delivery of ongoing drug education in their classroom.  A visit to the mobile Life Education van facilitates the development of students' knowledge and skills to identify risks and make informed decisions.

The Life Education van will be visiting our school from 25th-31st October.  Year levels will be timetabled to attend a learning opportunity in the van with the classroom teacher.  A Parent Information Session has been scheduled for Monday 26th October from 9:00-9:30am inside the van.

The purpose of the Parent Information Session is to:

-learn about the Life Education experience in the Mobile Learning Centre

-meet the trained health educator

-engage in the learning content of the programs

-understand the importance of Life Education and the vision through education

-understand the program outcomes and the alignment to the Victorian Curriculum

-assist in developing open communication opportunities with your child in relation to their -experience with Life Education

-meet Healthy Harold.

If you are interested in attending the Parent Information Session, please look out for the CareMonkey eForm early next term.
