DEFINITION OF HEALTH
MAKING FRIENDS
GOOD CHARACTER TRAITS / VALUES
PUBERTY
REFUSAL SKILLS
DECISION-MAKING
PERSONAL SAFETY
DRUG AND ALCOHOL INFORMATION
(via Karen Walsh-Pio our Drug and Alcohol Counselor)
Students learn information in a variety of ways. This includes script-writing, role-plays, group discussions, videos, reading, web research, games and worksheets. The focus is on guiding the students to make responsible decisions even when it goes against their peers’ suggestions. This way, students can take charge of their safety, health and happiness.
