BETTER THAN THIS

Three Year 11 students, considered to be "at risk" by their regional secondary college, are put on a special program. While participating in the physical activities, counselling and excursions organised for the program, the students reveal themselves and their fears. One excursion, which involves swimming with dolphins, becomes a turning point. An uneasy but supportive friendship develops. By the end of the play they realise that although there is no miraculous way to solve their individual problems, they now have strategies to help them through the bad times.

'Better Than This' was commissioned by Ballarat Health Services/Grampians
Psychiatric Services as part of their Good Mental Health Program in schools. It was included on the 2002 VCE Drama and Theatre Studies Playlist
