It was great to be back at Commonweal School on Friday to join staff and students to see a performance of a play called Smashed. The play, by a travelling group of young people, talks about the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption and peer pressure, feeling pressured into doing the wrong thing. The audience was Year 7 and Year 8 students, and some people may believe that is a bit young, but I think the opposite. It is important that younger teenagers are educated early about the dangers of excessive alcohol and succumbing to peer pressure.
