reflect and refine components of
the project.
The Phase two project schedule
was developed. The steering
committee decided on the overarching theme of resilience for
the FHL program as it was
identified as being relevant for
the young people of the Yarram
district. It was agreed that this
theme would support the
transition and changes for the
primary students moving into
secondary school in 2010 and
2011.

Students, teachers and artists
completed surveys prior to the
commencement of the program.

based at three schools; St.
Mary’s Primary School, Yarram
Primary School & Yarram
Secondary College. The arts
workshops were conducted each
week for eight weeks with 120
students in grade 6 and year 7.
The students and artists,
alongside the teachers, principals
and health professionals from
both the school and regional
agencies, participated in a range
of creative workshops including;
music, dance, performance, story
telling, mask and puppets, visual
arts and clay and wood work and
construction.

entertained by the performance
which was the outcome of the
eight weeks of workshops.

program and further work on the
project will continue into 2011.

involve planning for sustainability
which will include school policy &
curriculum reviews to include
FHL program within Transition
Programs and to
incorporate/update student
wellbeing and resilience
strategies.
