Wired
Student Wellbeing Program
Description
Educational theatre that addresses student mental health and emotional wellbeing, including the physiology, causes and effects of stress, anxiety and depression.
Two adolescents with extremes of behaviour, metabolism, hormones, goals and perspectives are spiralling out of control in different directions - one into STRESS and OVERLOAD, the other into DEPRESSION.
When their lives collide, they are forced to change course. The audience has the opportunity to see the characters play out an alternative path towards greater resilience and mental wellbeing.
With a sophisticated script and contemporary music, Wired instantly engages even the most cynical audience to enhance mental health awareness in schools.

Teacher Testimonials
Well worth students missing an hour of HSC class to deal with these issues. Fantastic! Thought provoking. 10/10.
Davidson High School
Excellent! Perfectly delivered and precisely tackled issues VCE students face. Thank you! 10/10.
Northcote High School
Very clever performance, the 'what if' wind back, gave the students food for thought. Ours was a Friday afternoon performance, so the odds were stacked against the performers, but the students were engaged throughout! Thank you. Educational, enlightening, relevant to year 10 issues, effective, influential and entertaining. Highly recommended!"
Rosebank College
Testimonials
A very well presented drama suitable to the needs of year 11 students. These are emerging issues for these students so it is good to mention them early in year 11 for year 12 stress. Highly recommended!
Xavier Catholic College
Supports year 10 health 'Understanding Mental Health' and year 9 health 'Enhancing Resilience'. Thought provoking, gave students the opportunity to reflect on their own circumstances. Highly recommended!
Radford College
Excellent! Right timing, just the information we need. Actors were very professional in their performance and follow up discussion. Keep up the good work! Highly recommended.
Casino High School
Highly recommended! Supports our stress management policy. The performance was engaging and relevant to the targeted audience, an excellent production.
Camden High School
I was so impressed with the quality of the script and the range of characters and issues they dealt with. The actors' performances were excellent. When addressing the students the actors were warm, open and non judgemental. Well done! Highly recommended. 10/10
Taree High School
The performance was superb. The actors made it very transparent for the students and I'm sure a lot of this will be curbed at our school in future. An effective wellbeing resource for students and teachers. Highly recommended! 10/10
