Why this education program matters
Knife crime is a serious issue affecting Queensland communities, and it's crucial to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to understand its risks. The StandUp program teaches students about the consequences of carrying knifes, the emotional and social impacts of violence, and the importance of reporting crime. Through education, we can help to create safer environments in Queensland schools and in our communities.
