Drug Education Australia visited the College recently to hold two ‘Party Safe’ seminars which were attended by all Year 10 students. The sessions were run by Sharon Torpey, founder and director of Drug Safe Victoria, which provides programs for young people with current, fact-based information about alcohol and other drugs. The aim of the program is to help build young people’s capacity to make safer, healthier decisions while enjoying growing independence.
We chose Sharon to run this session because she provides the latest and most accurate information around drug and alcohol use and also delivers the information in a way that is non-threatening, accessible and age-appropriate. We wanted to ensure that the students' choices around drugs and alcohol are informed by the latest research.
