A letter from the Reefton Area School acknowledging the DARE to be You programme (115kB .PDF).

 

I don't really have a question to ask, but I'd like to complement you on the DARE programme.  I am doing DARE right now and it is really cool.  The person taking it is ... on the ... Force.  Anyway, the DARE programme is so awesome my friends and I can't wait to get to school to go to DARE.  Martine, Student
 
Excellent programme, very experienced PEO, very worthwhile exercise.  Programme proves to be very valuable to this age level.  Educating these children in drug awareness allows them to make an informed choice for their future.  Tamatea Intermediate Teacher
 
Thank you for all your time spent teaching my child about this problem that children might face one day in their life.  It has really made me stop and think about my child's future and how I will go about guiding her through these difficult times if they occur.  Terrace End School, Parent

 

From what has been discussed at home as a result of this programme, I commend the people who take it and it is a great idea to have drug education at this age.  The programme appears to be well structured and developed - aimed appropriately for the age group - I think it's a valuable contribution to schooling.  What an  excellent programme for the children.  Congratulations to all involved.  West End School, Parent
 
I was most impressed with X's skill as a facilitator.  My class was left with a very positive impression of the Police and some useful techniques for coping with the challenges of growing up and making decisions.  Evans Bay Intermediate School Teacher
 
I value the programme as I observed students who would not usually participate in activities, share and contribute to the DARE programme.  The facilitator was awesome!  The students really worked hard and produced some quality work, which was pleasing.  The fun day was fantastic!"  Dannevirke South School Teacher
