A recent study from has found that safety is the number one value for young people, even more than freedom or achievement. This research highlights how strongly students prioritise feeling secure, supported and connected in their environments. 🧠

For educators and school communities, these findings reinforce why creating safe, inclusive spaces (both online and in person) is essential for student wellbeing and engagement. When students feel safe, they’re better able to learn, connect and thrive.

Our live theatre programs are designed to support these exactly kinds of conversations, helping young people explore respect, relationships, online safety and emotional wellbeing in an engaging way.

A new US based report from dives into adolescent boys and gambling, exploring when and why young people are exposed to betting, how marketing and online spaces influence behaviour, and the risks this presents for wellbeing. 📊

While the study is based in the United States, many of its insights are highly relevant for parents, educators and youth workers here too, especially as gambling content and ads become more visible online and through games and social platforms.

This research is a useful prompt to start conversations with young people about:
• how gambling is portrayed online
• what motivates young people to engage with it
• and how to recognise and respond if it becomes harmful
