Victoria Streetsmart Handbook

The Streetsmart Handbooks are given out to Year 10 Students at our Career Expo held annually.

We are pleased to advise that the ‘Police Citizen Youth Clubs Vic Streetsmart Handbook’ has been nominated as a recipient for the Crop Smart ‘Community Matter’ Programme. Crop Smart is mindful of the importance of helping today’s youth prepare for life after school. We wish you the very best for the ongoing success of this beneficial publication.

I am the Career Teacher at Grovedale College I have used your hand copy version of Street Smart  with Year 10 students. Students and teachers have provided very positive feedback re content and topics These resources are used in our Focus Group sessions that we have with year 10 students every Friday fortnight during a 100 minute double session ( for about 4 week).

We found the materials in the handbook useful for our senior students as it helps to engrain some of the messages, we are attempting to convey across the senior school experience. We have a similar focus at Year 11 on healthy bodies and healthy minds. Thanks again for the resources.

“We received these recently and when giving them to some of the graduating year 12 students, I overheard 2 students talking later about it. I quote” this book is unbelievable-stuff for Schoolies, Uni and the holidays!” That probably says it all. You want this resource to be used and referred to. Keep it going you guys. Many thanks

I am writing firstly to say what a fantastic resource the Street-smart Handbook is for young adults, the articles and links are contemporary and relevant. I work within a collaborative group of secondary school nurses in the south west area of Victoria at the DET. Is there a way we could order handbooks for our schools? I know the reach is great, but if there is a subsidised subscription for schools in need?   I’m reaching out on behalf of our department to ask the best way about schools having this handbook reach 16–17-year-old students?
