'The Gathering' DVD resource: A Party No One Could Forget
Created to use with young people (aged 15-18) in schools and youth settings, the City of Melville's 27 minute professionally produced drama can be used as a cutting edge tool to support discussion with young people and raise awareness of the acute harms associated with binge drinking.

The resource can also be used to facilitate discussion with the community to discourage the secondary supply of alcohol to juveniles.

Accompanied by teacher resource material, 'The Gathering' has strong curriculum links to Year 10 Health and Physical Education, Health Studies (Units PAHEA, PBHEA, 1AHEA, 1DHEA) and the Year 10 Viewing Strand of the English Learning Area.

The Gathering Story
A group of friends organise a spontaneous 'gathering' when parents are away for the weekend. Fuelled by an abundance of alcohol and gate crashers, events spiral out of control with consequences that will impact on the lives of the friends and their families forever.
Through realistic drama and storyline, The Gathering shows ways to prevent and minimise alcohol related harm and assists in making the decision not to drink alcohol easier
Warning - contains frequent coarse language and adult themes.

Price $59.95 plus $3.00 postage

‘6’ DVD - Road Safety
The City of Melville has won a road safety award for its hard-hitting portrayal of the consequences of drink-driving in its health resource DVD titled ‘6’.

The DVD, which deals with a range of issues facing young men, won the Safe Road User Behaviour (Metro) category of the Local Government Road Safety Awards, which acknowledge achievements by local government in the area of road safety.

This DVD follows the stories of six young men through six stories so young viewers really get to know the characters and relate to them. The last of the stories deals with drink-driving and shows how an innocent night out can end up in disaster.

The ‘6’ DVD has been successfully launched in both Perth and Melbourne. Since its release, the City of Melville has sent copies to more than 400 schools and organisations across Australia and New Zealand to be used as health and educational resource.

For more information about the ‘6’ DVD or to obtain a copy, phone Ms Armarego on (08) 9364 0280 or email: jarmarego@melville.wa.gov.au
