But clear guidance on how to talk about it with young people is harder than ever to find.
Your students are already hearing plenty — from TikTok, from older peers, from advertising — and most of it is designed to hide the real-world consequences behind fun, pleasure or aspirations.
“It’s fine if you only drink on weekends.”
“Mixing with energy drinks keeps you alert.”
“Everyone’s drinking by Year 10.”
“Alcohol is harmless if you’re over 16.”
This free session will give you:
✅ What the law really says about alcohol and underage drinking
✅ The health, social & environmental consequences of alcohol use
✅ The dangers of polydrug use, especially mixing alcohol with energy drinks or other substances
✅ How to talk to students without lecturing or shutting them down
✅ Tools to help students recognise peer pressure and build refusal skills — especially relevant for Schoolies Week
✅ Free classroom activities to make alcohol education more effective
Young people are being exposed to alcohol advertising, social pressures, and cultural norms that downplay the risks. With events like Schoolies Week on the horizon, teachers have a unique opportunity to educate and equip students with knowledge and tactics before they face these real-world situations.
This session, led by Dr James Durl, will show you how to challenge the myths and support students to make healthier choices — without shame or scare tactics.
Backed by insights from 275+ workshops with 30,000+ students in Australian schools.
Practical, evidence-based, and ready for the classroom.
