STUDENTS at Humberston Academy have been learning the lessons of life.
They took part in the Academy's eighth PSCHRE Theme Day.
PSCHRE stands for Personal, Social, Citizenship, Health and Relationship Education.
Students were involved in a variety of challenging and fun activities promoting vital learning and "lessons for life", which the Academy believes to be essential preparation for students for life beyond the Academy.
The activities gave the students a chance to face new and exciting challenges, to engage in team work and to work with outside agencies such as the Army Outreach Team, St John's Ambulance, and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service.
Year 10 students' theme for the day was Thinking About The Future and they considered the importance of health and exercise in their future life during a session with the Grimsby Institute as well as issues of confidence and self-esteem in the session led by Rob Powlesland.
Year 7 students took part in activities that delivered very important messages about road and fire safety, alcohol education, first aid and electrical safety.
Year 9 students were involved in sessions with themes related to relationships, alcohol, drugs and sex education, working with the Tip Of The Iceberg Theatre Group.
The students watched two productions, and being actively involved in workshops, all students learnt about making moral decisions and the right choices in life.
Organiser Ellen Fish said: "The theme days are a vital part of our students' learning and personal development. Having a day to engage in different activities which are addressing moral issues not only enriches the students' learning experience but promotes the right choices.
Year Nine student Olivia Stuart said: "The Tip Of The Iceberg company was great.
"They showed real-life situations, and it really showed us we need to think before we act.
"We learnt that people have been through the same situations we have, telling us we're not alone and how to make sensible choices."
Year Ten student Daisy Allman said: "I enjoyed working with the Army Outreach Team and found it useful joining in the team challenges. I think theme days are interesting and teach me life lessons."
