Loves Me Not
Awatapu College Year 12 students have been given the opportunity to participate in the Loves-Me-Not programme. Loves-Me-Not is a ‘whole-school approach’ to prevent abusive behaviour in relationships. The programme is designed especially for Year 12 students and includes a one-day workshop. The workshop will take place on Tuesday 28 March and runs for the whole day. There is no cost for this activity. Students are expected to wear normal mufti. A BBQ lunch will be provided free of charge for the Year 12 students.
Students and parents/caregives may wish to watch the 10-minute introductory video by Nigel Latta that explains how Loves-Me-Not teaches senior secondary school students about healthy relationships. The video can be accessed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/c-gt7QG7GEc
