ASPLEY SHS Grade 8 CAMP TEENS RAVES PROGRAM
It was well paced and tremendously well presented. Some highlights that I particularly enjoyed include;
- The opening relaxation techniques (A couple of the normally over-animated boys in my Year 8 Form class literally fell asleep)
- The interesting philosophy about the needs of young women to respect and support other females
- The encouragement to the students to exercise and volunteer in their community
- The statistics on offences...
- The techniques for self-defence.
Erin's good humour, awesome connection with youth culture and sensitivity when needed, truly inspired and educated me. In fact I would say the program felt like a 'gift' that I would recommend as a PD for teachers or for more of our students to enjoy. As a mother and grandmother, I would truly be happy to pay to have had my daughter or grand daughter do this course.

How wonderful we thought RAVE was... It was so powerful, so important, and a real confidence booster for those girls. I would value working with RAVES again... It was the highlight of the Year 8 Sleepover.
