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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>A highlight of the session was the hands-on experience with \u2018beer goggles\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<h5><em><strong>Brittany Neumann<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Year 11 Co-ordinator<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-22626 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Red-Frogs-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Red-Frogs-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Red-Frogs-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Red-Frogs-4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Red-Frogs-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Red-Frogs-3-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Red-Frogs-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Red-Frogs-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<hr \/>\n<h6><strong>Student Reflection<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">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\u2019t 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 \u2018it would never happen to me\u2019 or \u2018just this one time, I\u2019ll experiment.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/ava-zygouras\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-22676\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Ava-Zygouras.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Ava-Zygouras.jpg 160w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/10\/Ava-Zygouras-116x150.jpg 116w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/article\/knitting-for-the-childrens-hospital\/olivia-holt\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-22428\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-22428\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/09\/Olivia-Holt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/09\/Olivia-Holt.jpg 160w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/09\/Olivia-Holt-116x150.jpg 116w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/a>Ava Zygouras and Olivia Holt<br \/>\nCollege Co-Captains<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year 11 students took part in an engaging and informative presentation&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22649,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-22626","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/22626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22626"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/serviam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
