• 2011 - A GREAT START
  Courage to Care has already organised four successful Exhibitions this year and looks forward to another two.
  Caulfield Hospital asked us to bring a modified program to them in February this year geared to their staff. Over 200 staff members were involved from virtually every discipline within the hospital, including nursing, paramedical and general staff. The feedback was extremely positive indicating that the fundamental message of the Program is just as relevant to an adult audience as it is to the students who attend.
  In March we brought the Exhibition to the Warrnambool Art Gallery where over 1000 students from the region attended the Program over the three week period we were there.
  May saw the exhibits head to northern Victoria to Echuca and then Kerang each for one week. Again about 1000 students participated and the feedback we have received is very encouraging. Included in this issue is a letter received from the secretary of the Rochester Secondary College Students Representative Council.
  Still to come this year are Exhibitions at Mentone Girls Secondary College where we have been asked to return after a few years. In August we will be at the Hume Global Learning Centre in Broadmeadows - a magnificent venue. 55 secondary schools are within the region and so we hope we will see a good uptake by them.
  eld for two weeks during May for the third time at the Gold Museum, the Exhibition was a great success with over 1200 senior secondary students from 15 different schools in the region attending the educational Program. The Official Opening with Keynote Speaker Justice Howard Nathan was enjoyed by all those attending.
  
  
• QUEENS HALL PARLIAMENT HOUSE
  We have been invited to display the Exhibition in this prestigious venue in the week commencing October 24th. where all members of the Victorian Parliament will have the opportunity to view it. In addition many schools visit the Parliament and we will have the opportunity to introduce teachers to the Program.
  
  
• LINKS TO LIVING HISTORY
  We were given the opportunity to use this alternative web-based Program on Tuesday 31st. May with a group of students from Colac Secondary College. Their teacher had received via the web material with which to prepare the students prior to Peter Gaspar, child Holocaust survivor, presenting his experiences to them via the web. They were therefore able to ask him directly a number of relevant questions. The teacher has further material to work from as follow-up to this direct link. The initial feedback has been very positive.
  
  
• COURAGE TO CREATE
  We include in the current newsletter the winning entry in the artistic section of this competition which we are running again this year for participating students. Imagination is all that it takes - one of the winners last year were three girls from Kyneton Secondary College who produced a dance routine in response to the St. Francis of Assisi quotation given!
