The NSW Streetsmart Handboook is a great resource with handy, useful and relevant information for senior students. It has complemented our student well-being program and the sessions we run in collaboration with U Turn the Wheel and Paul Dillon’s Drugs and Alcohol Talks. A very valuable resource that can assist our students with their social awareness and development of skills they need to use through sometimes complex issues which will confront their lives.

Our Health curriculum teachers find them a great resource for our Year 11 students. We find placing one into each of their hands at this pivotal time in their lives is extremely beneficial as they are filled with relevant information, and we believe the students engage with them really positively.

I had a good look at the book and thought that the resources are relevant for the current Y11, next year’s year 12, so I showed it to our HT wellbeing and asked if we should have a copy for each y12 student so we can use it as a resource and base our Study Skills Lessons on it. HT wellbeing agreed and we would like to use it as a resource So, the resource is for the 2022 study skills lessons, where we address wellbeing, careers, and study/learning issues.
