Primary Topics
Primary school students face specific challenges as they develop towards adolescence. Children are bombarded with messages from the media, family, school and peers – how can they interpret these messages and make informed choices about issues which will affect their life?
Values 4 Life School Seminars provide a powerful values-based program to assist students in their social and emotional development.
The seminars are designed to help students think about and question issues and values in today’s culture in a relevant, exciting, reflective learning experience.
