Overview

Using videos, students observe positive and negative behaviour in scenarios that are common to their lives, becoming aware that actions have consequences. They start to explore the impact of negative behaviour on people’s feelings and lives, and think about how and why it is important to make choices that can create better outcomes and experiences.
