Senior Constable Diana Hayden discusses an activity during a DARE lesson.
The DARE to Make a Choice programme is part of our Health Curriculum at Mount Biggs School. It is run in conjunction with the NZ Police Youth Education Service. It has been designed to provide pupils with the skills and confidence to resist pressures to take drugs, and to make healthy safe choices around this issue. The programme will be delivered in 5 modules on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons until the end of term.
Please contact Mr. W if you wish to see the teaching material or have further questions.
