The P.A.R.T.Y Program gives students a chance to learn about real-life trauma from people who have experienced it and first responders who witness it every day. The aim is to help participants recognise situations which have the potential to cause injury or harm and make informed choices to minimise the risk.

Help us to understand why the P.A.R.T.Y Program is important to your school by completing the following questions:

Has your school community experienced the impact of a traumatic event in recent months/years? What affect has this had on students?

What are some of the concerns you have for your student cohort in relation to risk-taking or trauma?

Are you able to share examples of the types of risk-taking or behaviours which students may be involved in?

The P.A.R.T.Y Program will be delivered on the following dates in 2025. Please select a 1st and 2nd preference. If we can’t meet your 1st preference, you will be considered for your 2nd preference. Ensure you avoid exam periods or school excursions as once your booking is confirmed, we may not be able to offer you an alternative date.

CONDITIONS OF BOOKING

1. Minimum of 25 students and a maximum of 40. If you have 25 students, we may offer the other places to another school or youth group.

2. Schools are advised to have a ‘reserve’ list of students from any year level with parental consent to fill any vacancies on the day. For example, if any number of students are unable to attend the program at the last minute, you will be able to call on your reserve list to fill your booking.

3. The P.A.R.T.Y Program runs to a tight schedule as the setting is a working hospital. All schools must be at Latrobe Regional Health by 9am. Please ensure your transport on the day has factored in travel time to LRH and students are ready on time. Late-comers may experience a substantially reduced program.

4. We urge schools to select staff who are equally committed to the goals of the program, to accompany students on the day. This will ensure the lessons learnt and messages from the day continue to be shared when you return to school. We encourage all staff and parents to participate in the program's activities.
