The Life Choices Foundation is a registered charity that aims to reach, engage and impact teenagers, prisoners and detainees, and to provide them with a framework from which they can make positive choices around some of life’s important decisions. All too often in today’s society, we see a young person’s life destroyed, or ended too soon, simply because of one poor decision.

The year 10’s of Renmark High School attended a presentation by professional Racing Car Driver, Andrew "Fishtail" Fisher on Tuesday the 25^th of February.  The Life Choices High School Program challenged our teenagers to STOP and THINK through the consequences of some of life’s significant choices. It encouraged them to choose the path that is ‘right’ for them through evidence-based information and real-life stories that inspire young people to stand firm in the face of difficulties and negative influences. It covered important issues such as self-control, self-image, safe driving, social comparison, community awareness, values and beliefs. Here’s what some of our students thought after the presentation:

“It was great, I learnt a lot and it really spoke to things that are important to us.”

“I really enjoyed the presentation, the topics were relevant and the car was really cool.”

“It made me think about the choices I make in my life, about friendships, decisions and what impacts the other people around me too”
