Safe Party Education
As a part of its on going safe party education programme U-nome Security proudly presents…
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.
What does effective alcohol and drug education look like?
- 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.
- The content is relevant to young people’s experiences and interests.
- The programme contains highly interactive pedagogies that engage students’ problem solving and critical thinking.
- Practical approach to putting on safe ( but fun) events.
A Night Wasted will deliver presentations nationally. It covers a range of topics that our young people currently deal with when going out to celebrate a night out.
Our presentation provides the school community with practical information to ensure our young people are celebrating safely.
Who can benefit from Safe Party Education
The program targets the following community groups to ensure that we are providing a holistic approach in awareness and education.
This includes:
- Students (Year 9 and above)
- Teachers
- Parents
The Year 9 focus has been as a result of anecdotal data received via U-nome Security that highlights the increased focus on party celebration within this age group. In fact, this age group are having more celebrations then any other age group. Feedback has also been gained via teachers and young people at these events. On a busy weekend I would provide assistance to 1000 teenagers.
This current news article also illustrate the risks our young people take when celebrating a night out:

As a mother of teenagers and a security expert working on the front line of youth celebrations I see young people and parents making poor choices continually. Unfortunately people are then put at risk.
The solution is providing our community with a practical survival plan to ensure safety is the key focus when we celebrate. All education programs are supported with current relevant stories from the coalface and topical news articles.
Three programs are offered under the Night Wasted umbrella
Presented to the students as a guide on how to celebrate safely. It is both a formal presentation with assistance of PowerPoint. (not “death by PowerPoint’) with some video clips from the coal face.
