WHERE SAFETY BEGINS – NORTHERN LEGAL COMMUNITY SERVICES
Greenvale Secondary College was nominated by Northern Legal Community Service to pilot their new program Where Safety Begins. Twelve year 7 students were selected by Student Services to take part. Through art, games and group hang outs, students learnt about building resilience, support and connection.
