TEACHER COMMENTS
Arrived in good time to set up and be ready to start as soon as the
students arrived, Excellent, pitched at the right level for our year 8
students – got them all full engaged in the fun and activities. This
presentation complements our drugs ed which is standard in all years
7-13 and is very suitable for the target audience. Not too much detail
about illegal substances themselves, but enough to gain students
interest and let them know where further info is available. Students
encouraged to find their own talent to give them a Natural High,

music and the activities, listened with interest. Excellent in all respects – fun, entertaining and meaningful. Caldestones High School
