On Wednesday 26 May, Pat Buckley (from Amped4Life) spoke to the Y13 Health students about Methamphetamine, in support of their learning for their current Health internal – Analysing a New Zealand Health issue.
His presentation was informative, raw and real. Pat begun Amped4Life back in 2002 with the objective to ‘educate, equip and empower young people with the tools and skills they need to make healthy and informed choices for life’. He adds in his personal experience around drug use as well as adding in work stories from being a Paramedic. Pat is back to our school in August to talk to the whole Y12 cohort.
“I liked hearing what he had to say, it was good having this content from an external individual.” – WGHS student
“Pat was an amazing motivational speaker, he definitely has a strong impact on teens struggling with this topic. He definitely should continue with what he is doing for the community. Absolutely encourage Pat to come back for other students next year.” – WGHS student
