On Wednesday 19 June, 21 school students from years 9 to 12 celebrated their graduation from the Queensland Blue Light Association Incorporated Blue EDGE program.
The Blue Edge program was delivered at Home Hill High School over an 8-week period and works to uphold 4 core principles; educate, develop, grow and empower.
A Blue Light Queensland program, the organisation’s mission is to foster positive outcomes among police, community and young people through early intervention with the vision of every young person reaching their potential, and to live crime free.
The Blue Edge program was ran with the support of the Burdekin PCYC, local police, school staff, and Blue Light Volunteers.
Over the 8-week program, students attended 1.5hr sessions twice a week where they were provided with opportunities to engage in physical training and activities, provided with a simple, healthy breakfast before school, and the chance to learn from motivational guest speakers.
As a result of these activities, each day of the program ensured students would attend school alert, fed, motivated and ready for learning.
As part of their “Final Edge” graduation, the students travelled to Townsville to carry out the last day of the program, where they were rewarded with a tour of the North Queensland Cowboys HQ and enjoyed activities together at KinPin Townsville.
Families were invited to attend the graduation, to celebrate their child’s successful completion of such a comprehensive, and engaging course.
