Safe Party Education
Knowledge is the best prevention.
As part of its ongoing safe party education programme, U-Nome Security proudly presents A Night Wasted: practical safety education for students, parents and teachers.
A Night Wasted.
A Night Wasted incorporates the best practice qualities outlined in Drug and Alcohol Education, Student Health and Wellbeing. It is directed at both students and parents, and covers a range of topics that our young people currently deal with when going out to celebrate a night out.
As a mother of teenagers and a security expert working on the front line of youth celebrations, Naomi sees young people and parents making poor choices continually. The solution is providing our community with a practical survival plan to ensure safety is the key focus when we celebrate.
What does effective alcohol and drug education look like?
Our presentation provides the school community with practical information to ensure our young people are celebrating safely.
- ✔Increase students' knowledge, social and life skills, and refusal skills towards alcohol, licit and illicit drug use.
- ✔Create awareness for parents and community leaders planning celebrations.
- ✔Content relevant to young people's experiences and interests.
- ✔Highly interactive pedagogies that engage students' problem solving and critical thinking.
- ✔A practical approach to putting on safe (but fun) events.
Who can benefit from Safe Party Education?
The program targets the following community groups to ensure we are providing a holistic approach in awareness and education:
The Year 9 focus is a result of anecdotal data that highlights the increased focus on party celebration within this age group. In fact, this age group are having more celebrations than any other. On a busy weekend Naomi would provide assistance to 1,000 teenagers.
Three programs are offered under the Night Wasted umbrella.
Students
Presented to the students as a guide on how to celebrate safely. It is a formal presentation with the assistance of PowerPoint (not "death by PowerPoint") with some video clips from the coal face.
Teacher presentations can be tailored to suit the audience and the time available, delivered during pupil-free days or fitted into a staff meeting time-slot.

We surveyed 70 of 100 students from Donvale Christian College after a presentation conducted with the assistance of a fantastic paramedic. All of the students indicated that they enjoyed the seminar.
