Education
Personal Profile
We know that knowledge is power! DARE educates senior students about domestic violence and arm Year 12’s with information on how to identify if they are at risk of being in an unhealthy relationship!
Through educating and informing the high school students the nature of domestic violence, how it influences community perceptions and affects others in the wider community this will foster a positive change from its inadvertent commonality.
SPEAKING TO YOUR COHORT & WHAT IT INVOLVES
2015-2017
QLD SCHOOLS
DARE delights being invited to speak briefly to a Year 12 cohort to raise awareness about domestic violence before they complete their schooling.
We discuss misconceptions of what domestic violence is. We hear stories of manipulation, verbal, emotional and psychological control from senior students and unfortunately because they do not involve violence, these students think that their boyfriend or girlfriend’s unacceptable behaviour is acceptable! DARE believes that there needs to be clarification throughout all schools.
2011-2014
QLD SCHOOLS
We identify apps that students can download so that they can identify if they are at risk of being in an unhealthy and potentially abusive relationship in the future.
We explain what DARE is, how it began and how we can help victims and survivors connect to community services in their local areas.
We explain about our fundraising branch of DARE where by students can donate their formal attire to DARE to either raise funds or to be given to another student.

Only registered teachers can participate in this FREE program. If you would like to know more, please contact us
We also offer Year 12 students the opportunity to attend their end of year formal, if for some reason during the year they realise that financially they will be unable to go.
The process for students to receive help (dress, shoes, jewellery, ticket) requires that they speak to their Year 12 coordinator and get them to contact DARE on their behalf.
