Relationships Education with Fourth Formers 

 In 1987, during my third year as school Public Health Nurse, I was asked by Wanganui High School to assist in the introduction of the new health syllabus.  As I became more involved I had the privilege of meeting a large group of young people who astonished me with the support, insight and good humour they displayed to each other and their world.  They expressed a degree of tolerance to differences and to the right of individual expression which outweighed the expected negative effects of peer pressure.
