WARWICK State High School Year 12 students took part in an important workshop this week that might just save a life.
The Queensland Homicide Victims Support Group and Matthew Stanley Foundation have come together in partnership to deliver the anti-violence message through a one hour face-to-face presentation “Walk away, Chill out as One Punch Can Kill”.
These organisations have worked extensively in this area to promote non-violence and mutual respect among young people through their information sessions.
On Monday this workshop was delivered to the Year 12 students.
The workshop allowed students to hear directly about the impact of violent assaults on victims and perpetrators, and encouraged students to make safe choices about their behaviour and that of their peers.
