The children gained vital knowledge at the Crucial Crew workshop which will help them as they become more independent in the community. Here the children listened to people from various companies who discussed appropriate behaviour in a variety of places and the consequences of poor decision making. 

Below you will see the variety of companies that the children worked with. The children came away with great confidence and information which will help them as they move to high school.

In this session, the children were introduced to what happens when people make the wrong choices in public.

Here the children decided which implements were purposely made or adapted to become weapons.
