The WISE Self Defence program benefitted the Year 9 students at Colac Secondary College by giving them an understanding of their civil rights and responsibilities in dangerous situations. The stories that Fiona told, while in many ways quite distressful, also provided some real life knowledge to the students.

The actual physical practices of self-defence were enlightening and the students enjoyed learning the skills.

A really strong point of all the presentations was RESPECT. Given that this is one of our school values it was wonderful to have an outsider of the school reinforcing the importance of this value.

Many students commented that they would have liked the program to be extended. A very valuable program that we would like to extend and use in the future.
