Wanneroo recognised by Constable Care Foundation

The new agreement entitles the City to an internationally recognised professional theatre program at one of its secondary schools.

The 12-week initiative will be developed in collaboration with a school to address its individual needs and concerns.

Mayor Tracey Roberts said the very effective Forum Theatre participation process is a relevant and engaging way to explore some of the serious issues young people face.

“Topics selected can include alcohol and drugs, bullying, gang violence, criminality, domestic violence, sexuality, mental health, conflict resolution, smoking or cultural intolerance,” Mayor Roberts said.

“The objective of the program is to empower young people to creatively explore relevant social concerns,” she said.

“It will help students come up with strategies and solutions for addressing problems and practice constructive ways to resolve them in their wider community.”

Constable Care Child Safety Foundation CEO David Gribble said he was enormously grateful for the City’s continued support.

“This increased level of partnering with the City of Wanneroo will allow us to reach many more young people with our safety education programs, working with them on important life skills that will serve them well in the future,” Mr Gribble said.
