In the workshops facilitated by Trulife, an organisation that works to educate and inspire youth, Grade 8s were challenged to value difference in others and confront the traumatic effect of cyber, physical, and emotional bullying.

Grade 9 and 10 students watched a play that looked at the flippancy of the sex culture that has permeated popular culture via music, dance, and social media. It also explored the consequences of confusing sex with love.

Grade 11s participated in a workshop that focused on online pornography, and its devastating impact on the relationships between young people today.
