Decisions
For Years 5 - 6
Students explore the decision-making process and develop their skills by looking at choices, consequences, responsibility, facts, and influences.

- Investigating myths, facts and social norms
- Strategies and skills to be safe
- Understanding what drugs are and how they are classified
- Influences on decision making (family, peers, media, culture, financial & legal)
