Brainstorm Productions
Brainstorm Productions is a theatre group that has been performing plays at St Andrews College for many years, enhancing our Wellbeing Program. Through their performances, they are able to empower students with practical strategies to strengthen their mental health, resilience and wellbeing. In 2023, Brainstorm Productions will present three different plays: Cyberia, The Flipside and Wired. Aspects of the plays will be discussed in Wellbeing lessons after the play.
Cyberia - Friday March 10 - Year 8 (period 1-2) and Year 9 (period 3-4)
‘Cyberia’ uses real student experiences to inform students about mental health, relationships and online behaviour. This play will help educate students about the complex issues surrounding the misuse of technology, and the damage caused by cyberbullying. St Andrews College is committed to making students aware of what bullying is, as well as the short term and long term consequences in our community.
The Flipside - Friday May 5 - Year 7 (period 1-2)
‘The Flipside’ will educate students about what is humorous, toxic, private, humiliating, informative, safe or appropriate online. The performance encourages students to think critically about their online values and behaviour and provides strategies for empathy, resilience, help-seeking and positive bystander behaviour.
Wired - Friday November 10 - Year 10 (period 1-2)
‘Wired’ tackles some of the big issues affecting Australian students, including social isolation, bullying, online safety, school stressors, family relationships and pressure from social media. It addresses barriers to help-seeking and provides strategies for resilience, problem-solving, goal-setting and positive mental health.
