Learner Workshops

Grade 10 & 11

Life Skills workshop

 

Following numerous requests from schools throughout South Africa, Rape Wise has written researched and compiled a life skills workshop for grade 10 & 11 learners. This year we introduced an audio visual presentation that has a far greater impact on learners. 

The workshop was successfully presented, as a pilot project, at numerous schools throughout the country e.g.: St Andrew’s school for girls, St Dominic’s school, Peconwood college, Abbott’s college JHB, Redhill School, St Henry’s Marist college, Roedean school for girls, Uplands College (Mpumalanga), Southdowns College (PTA) 

Some of the comments from participants where as follows: 

“Best talk I have ever been in… I was not bored for 1 minute.”

(Bianca 16 years old) 

“We think we know everything, but there is so much we don’t actually know. A brilliant workshop!”

(Taryn 16 years old) 

“This course was a real eye opener and an indication of how little I actually know about rape and the trauma associated with it. It is an empowering course and I feel

that it should be a necessity in every school across the country. A job well done Doc!”

(Mankgatho Age 16) 

“Our talk today was very insightful and unbelievably interesting and I believe it could be very helpful for our futures. John is an amazing speaker that captivated his audience with ease.”

(Maxine Age: 16) 

The workshop today was excellent. It kept me interested and even the visuals made me understand the reality of certain situations much more. I learnt a lot of things that I did not know about certain problems we face today and even how to deal with them in the right way!

(Thirusha 16 Uplands College) 

I really found the Rape Wise course worthwhile. It was eye-opening and informative. I can now make educated decisions about major aspects of my life!

(Brandon 16 Uplands College) 

Very informative – scary videos, a real eye opener. Really vital information and I think through this knowledge it has saved one of our lives if not more. I will think twice about trying drugs.

(Emma 16 Uplands College) 

 Feedback from the Grade 10 and 11 learners at Pecanwood College: 

“We were privileged to take part in one of the most insightful talks we will hear in our school career. No one who took part would have left the venue without gaining some sort of knowledge. It was brilliant and a very good guideline for us teenagers entering the real world.” – Anonymous 

“I enjoyed the workshop due to the way Dr. Buswell spoke. He spoke with familiarity and always used experiences from his past, bringing to light the reality.” – Daniel M 

“The Rapewise workshop was an informational, life changing moment. I feel that all teenagers should attend because it could help others or one’s life. Learning about all the different types of rape cases is sickening but educational” – Gavin M. 

“The Rapewise talk was extremely insightful. The way Dr. Buswell involved the group in his lecture by using examples from investigations he had worked on was incredible.” - Rowan
