Choices For Life Competition 2018 \u2013 \u2018Your Choice Your Voice\u2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Following the success of the Choices for Life \u2018Your Choice, Your Voice\u2019 competition which was launched in January 2017, Police Scotland would like to invite all Secondary Schools and Primary Schools in Scotland to participate in this year\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n

\u2018Choices for Life\u2019 is an innovative diversionary and educational initiative delivered by Police Scotland and funded by the Scottish Government. The main objective is to raise awareness amongst young people aged 11-18 about the risks and dangers of substance use and misuse, including tobacco, alcohol, drugs and New Psychoactive Substances (NPS).<\/p>\n

\u2018Your Choice, Your Voice\u2019 is designed to support the transition of P7 pupils to High School by encouraging collaborative working between P7 and S1 pupils to develop a \u2018creative\u2019 piece around the \u2018Choices for Life\u2019 key messages.<\/p>\n

Entries will ideally come from \u2018Clusters\u2019 of primary schools working together with their allocated High School to mirror the ongoing transition work already in place.<\/p>\n

Entries should demonstrate a creative theme and reflect the \u2018Choices for Life\u2019 key messages and will be uploaded and embedded on individual school websites as a promotional tool for \u2018Choices for Life\u2019 within the school community. Issues surrounding cyber and internet related concerns may also be addressed but should not form the basis of an entry.<\/p>\n

Each cluster \/ school will decide on the format their entry takes with suggestions including, but not limited to, a short video, musical piece, artwork or presentation.<\/p>\n

Entrants are encouraged to research \u2018Choices for Life\u2019 to gain an understanding of the key messages and submissions are urged to be as innovative as possible and must be appropriate for 11 \u2013 18 year olds. Details can be found on the Young Scot website (http:\/\/www.young.scot\/choices-for-life<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
