Whole School Event = Whole School Learning

For Schools who are not paying for all their students to attend, Lesley our administration officer will be in touch to check on promotional progress, supply the permission note see link above, posters, wristbands, article for the school news letter & blurbs for roll call & assemblies. We work with you on making the event a success for the whole school. We look forward to visiting your school!

It has been proven that impacting only a small number within a given community such as a school, limits the ability for those attitude shifts to be maintained & lessen the impact of the given educational outcome. Awareness Shows is unique in it's WHOLE SCHOOL approach. But the result are proof, with many schools seeing school wide shifts in attitudes & lots of feedback & discussion after the shows.

There can never be enough of this type of education!

Schools who can't see the need for youth centred communication approaches & school wide social & emotional wellbeing education like Awareness Shows, are simply not in touch with their student communities or the regional, state and national news. There can never be enough of this type of education, even if it saves one life it's worth it!
