Our form time PD curriculum continues to support LAB students to stay healthy, safe and prepared for life by informing students about a range of topics, ranging from relationships, money, personal health and drug awareness. We hope you enjoy reading about some of the Module 3 and Module 4 focus areas below.
Last module (M3)
