About Our Workshops

Our Skill Development Workshops are informative and fun workshops for primary and high schools based on contemporary topics such as bullying, mental health, social media, healthy relationships, anger management, drugs, and alcohol. 

The team partners up with local primary and high schools in the Liverpool, Campbelltown, Canterbury-Bankstown & Fairfield areas, to deliver a range of informative workshops based on contemporary issues and topics. 

Our team works with each school to develop FREE workshops & programs which best suit the needs of the students & the school community.
