Year 11 Red Frog Presentation
On Wednesday 15 October, Year 11 students took part in an engaging and informative presentation delivered by Red Frogs, as part of the ‘Party Safe’ program. This dynamic session aimed to educate and empower students to make informed decisions when navigating social events such as parties, after-parties and music festivals.
Throughout the presentation, students explored real-world scenarios and interactive activities designed to help them recognise potential risks and develop strategies to stay safe. The program covered a range of relevant topics, including alcohol, drugs and Australia’s drinking culture, as well as understanding standard drink measurements, laws surrounding substance use and the dangers of drink spiking. Students also discussed the impact of peer pressure and learned practical ways to look out for themselves and their friends in social settings.
A highlight of the session was the hands-on experience with ‘beer goggles’ which allowed students to safely observe the effects of alcohol impairment, and an eye-opening demonstration on the dangers of drink spiking. The program was both educational and enjoyable, leaving students better prepared to make confident and responsible choices in any party environment.

Student Reflection
Our session with Red Frogs Education was both eye-opening and empowering. Through engaging activities and honest conversations, we were encouraged to think critically about the choices we make, especially when it comes to partying, peer pressure and the risks of drugs and alcohol. The presenter didn’t just tell us to avoid illicit substances; they gave us practical tools and advice for staying safe, making informed decisions and supporting our friends. It was refreshing to hear that even if someone chooses to drink or experiment, there are safer ways to manage those situations without judgment. The Red Frogs lollies themselves were a fun reward for answering questions correctly but the real takeaway was that there is no safe drug. As we move into our adult lives, we must always stay vigilant, safe and smart even in scenarios where we think ‘it would never happen to me’ or ‘just this one time, I’ll experiment.’
