"Cheap Thrills"

On August 16th all Year 10 students travelled to the Potato Shed to view an educational production by Brainstorm Theatre called “Cheap Thrills”. The fast paced one-man show tackles the consequences of risk taking behaviour and substance abuse.

The show highlighted the difficulties of decision making around risk taking behaviour and opened a deeper understanding of how a person’s choice of friends and their ability to make good decisions can have a dramatic and lasting effect on their lives.

The show also explored the idea that developing healthy coping strategies early (e.g., exercise, talking, accessing school and/or health services) can help prevent the development of drug and alcohol addictions later in life. Themes such mental health and relationships were also explored.
