A leading provider of health and wellbeing education, Life Education Victoria is continuing to evolve with the times, tackling issues faced by the state’s preschool and primary school children.
With the backing of the State Government’s Department of Education, Life Education Victoria delivers curriculum-based programs designed to give young people the skills to make informed decisions about their health.
Their empowering school incursion program is an interactive session that features their beloved and well-known mascot, Healthy Harold, who happens to be a big fan of Isuzu Trucks!
Ensuring that the program can continue to reach those who need it, Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) has re-confirmed its long-standing financial commitment and support for the initiative.
Close to home
IAL Director and Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Harbison, says the educational program holds a special place in the hearts of its 170-strong staff—many of whom are based at the company’s headquarters in Melbourne—and throughout its broader network of dealerships.
“Isuzu Australia and our wider national network is comprised of people that have not only benefited from Life Education over the years, but who also have children receiving the benefits of this much-needed program,” said Mr Harbison.
“We’re delighted to once again partner with this outstanding organisation.
“We share in Life Ed Victoria’s vision of having healthy young people living up to their full potential and we recognise the important role they continue to play in delivering critical education on a range of health and wellbeing topics.”
Mission possible
Chief Executive Officer of Life Education Victoria, Samantha Nanni, says the program welcomes the support of local businesses like IAL.
“Life Ed Victoria can only do what it does with the support of organisations like Isuzu Australia, who have partnered with us for nine years now,” Ms Nanni said.
“While the financial contribution is certainly welcomed, it’s Isuzu’s active involvement that ensures Life Ed Victoria continues to reach thousands of children each year, so we are thrilled to receive the support.”
Life Education Victoria’s programs are continually being updated to meet the needs of the time, addressing current health and wellbeing issues that arise from events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, says Ms Nanni.
“The social impact on children from COVID is still very much at the forefront and we have adapted our programs to include socialising skills and how to engage with others,” she said.
“With the increase in vaping in younger children, we are making them more aware of the impact of how that choice can affect their lives.
“With Healthy Harold front and centre, plus Isuzu’s support driving us along, Life Ed Victoria continues to reach every corner of the state.”
