Life Education South Australia (LESA) is a charity that is a community-based, independent organisation at the front line of positive and preventative drug and health education. In the 2011 school year approximately 50,000 children took part in the preschool, primary and secondary programs. Helping young people make informed decisions about their health and drugs is at the heart of the program. Specialist educators, utilising their experience and training, work with schools 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.
FACTS AND FIGURES Life Education South Australia : Life Education South Australia: TESTIMONIALS Comments from Teachers ‘Quality educational value in terms of SACSA and the resources materials provided on the CD Rom have been most useful prior to the session and I will continue to use them after this session.’ ‘Excellent CD, with notes in the manual. Great to use with our interactive whiteboard. Easy to use sheets, good content.’ Why do you value the Life Education resource? ‘The motivational level it provides to student engagement and learning. The video presentations, the puppets and props are a valued asset to the van and the program it provides. The actual space of the van promotes excitement and the ability to have all the info displayed in a friendly and interactive manner.’ ‘Presents information with a really important health message in a fun, interactive way that really engages students.’ ‘Life Education is able to cover topics we wouldn’t usually tackle in class. It fits in perfectly with Drug Strategy work.’ ‘As a site outside the classroom the content of the presentation becomes more stimulating and the students engage better, thereby a better chance of long term memory retention.’ ‘The quality of this resource is consistently high. I always feel completely comfortable having the children in my class participate in these activities, knowing that potentially sensitive topics are dealt with clearly, accurately and with care.’ ‘I have never (over 20 years) of teaching been disappointed in the Life Education resources or educator.’ ‘Life Education is so engaging for students! The ‘hands on’ aspect is so important, the visuals, ICT, puppets etc are fabulous.’ Comments from Kids To Harold To Harold, Dear Harold Dear Harold Dear Harold Dear Harold
