The school is fortunate to have the sponsorship of Club Forster who gives a donation to every single student as part of the club's service to the local community.
This allows every student the opportunity to attend this important program at half the cost.
The students of Forster Public School always enjoy these visits as it includes stimulating visual and auditory media and the younger students look forward to a visit from Healthy Harold.
The program provides students the opportunity to develop strategies, and practice the skills required to avoid the harms associated with an unhealthy lifestyle.
The Life Education Primary School modules presented, focus on issues around food and nutrition, personal safety, physical activity, cyber safety, safety with medicine and legal drugs; tobacco, alcohol and caffeine.
By taking a comprehensive approach to drug and health education, the modules help children to develop relationship skills, positive communication – both face to face and online - problem solving and decision making skills.
Each module presents an issue or issues with memorable and engaging activities.
The specially trained educators ensure that all messages are age-appropriate, relevant and enhance and support the messages taught in Australian schools.
