Children aged 3-13 are faced with more challenges when it comes to physical health, safety and social and emotional wellbeing than ever before.
Life Ed prides itself on a wholistic approach to education that ensures the tricky decisions children and young people face on a daily basis are made a little easier.
Life Ed helps children to:
- Connect the choices they make with short and long-term consequences.
- Value their safety, health and happiness.
- Develop positive attitudes for safer, healthier and happier choices.
- Build confidence and skills to manage potential coercive behaviours.
Life Ed’s curriculum aligned programs tackle tomorrows issues today covering a wide range of topics across the areas of physical health, safety and social and emotional wellbeing. These topics are integrated and our lessons are delivered in an engaging and age appropriate way.
We cannot do it alone. We believe in a three-way partnership for children between their teachers, parents and carers and our educators for continuity in their community. As parents and carers, and possibly Healthy Harold graduates yourselves, we know you are a big part of the winning formula. Life Ed is here to support you in reinforcing these important lessons at home.
Please visit our Family Resources section of the website to discover useful tools and activities you can access for free. We have a range of invaluable resources that help reinforce our lessons for children and young people aged 3 to 13. Together we can ensure your child has every opportunity to thrive.

The (Life Ed) program builds social and emotional learning in children - getting to the root of how to build safe and positive relationships, to develop empathy, communicate respectfully, including how to respectfully disagree with someone.
My dad had been a heavy smoker since long before I was born, but one day, I came home from Healthy Harold really upset that his habit was putting his health – and life – in serious danger. That day – almost 20 years ago! – he had his last cigarette and hasn’t touched one since.
I have to say, having resilience and grit has to be one of the most important lessons I’ve taken away from the Life Ed program. That’s definitely something I think is crucial for young people when navigating the path to adulthood, so I am so glad I learned those lessons early on.
The Life Ed program assists as it has a high and equitable reach of children by being able to access them while they are at school in a learning environment. Its ability to cover a range of topics that may otherwise go without being addressed or spoken about at school or at home is also critical.
