An educational theatre experience for primary schools that encourages resilience, healthy behaviours and anti bullying. Supported by a Q&A and curriculum-aligned classroom resources.
This exciting adventure story inspires students to take responsibility for their own behaviour and wellbeing.
Cal and Mindi are accidentally transported from the safety of the ‘H Zone’ and left without their positive mindsets. Peer pressure and social media make Mindi anxious and competitive. Cal becomes isolated and obsessed with junk food and aggressive video games. Struggling with low self-esteem, they succumb to bullying and excessive screen time.
They must learn to critically evaluate the media, stand up to bullying and make good decisions.
The H Team fosters teamwork, impulse control, and resilience, to create healthy and harmonious school communities. An interactive song reinforces the positive message.
Each primary school program includes:
- A 50 minute live theatre performance, with themes and outcomes aligned with the curriculum and key wellbeing, bullying and cyber safety frameworks. The actors are young, professional performers who are positive role models for your students.
- A 5-10 minute discussion with the students, in which key themes and practical strategies are explored and help-seeking information is provided. Students also have the opportunity to ask the actors questions.
- A Teacher Resource Pack, containing:
- Pre-performance resources, including permission slip, newsletter insert, promotional tools, compliance documents and everything else you need to prepare for the day.
- Curriculum-aligned classroom resources, including lesson plans, discussion points, extension activities, worksheets and online resources.
- Promotional A3 colour posters.
- The theme song from the show to download.

What sort of venue do we need?
An indoor venue with access to electricity. There is no need for any special theatre style venue as the show works best in an open space, with students seated on the floor. A school hall or gym is ideal but we can also use triple classroom areas, libraries etc. Unfortunately due to WHS we cannot use outdoor areas. If you have an unusual venue and would like to discuss it with us please contact our team on 1800 676 224.
What is the cost and how does the minimum fee structure work?
Our maximum audience for all primary school productions is 300. The cost is $5.50 per student (+GST). A minimum fee of $770 (+GST) applies when less than 140 students attend. The actors will count the students as they enter the venue. Our office will be email you a tax invoice.
What provisions do you have in place for supporting child safety and wellbeing?
We are a Child Safe Organisation and comply with all aspects of Child Protection and screening in each state and territory. We have Risk Assessments in place and all our actors are trained in WHS, appropriate behaviour in schools, dealing with student disclosures and providing appropriate help-seeking information. Scripts have been researched and developed in consultation with teachers and a Clinical Psychologist.
What will the actors need on the day?
The actors will arrive one hour and fifteen minutes before the performance time to sign in and access the venue. The shows are performed on the floor (preferably NOT a stage) and need a playing space of approximately 5m x 5m. No chairs please. They have all their own equipment.
