Community Problem Solving
I have really
enjoyed working on
this CARS project. I
hope that we have
helped our Year 12s
to stay safe and be
alcohol responsible.

I really got excited when people
replied to our letters, especially
members of parliament. It was great
to see that people do take notice and
are interested in what a small group
of school-aged girls are trying to
promote.

CMPS showed me that real changes could be made in the community by
taking appropriate actions; I have put this into practice this year by
organizing a forum on Youth, Alcoholism and Risk Taking to address the
problem of the binge drinking culture.

We have learnt
many things over
the course of our
project: how to talk
to strangers, how
to run meetings,
how to keep going
when people tell
you that you are
wasting your time
and how it takes
time to make the
connections we
need, to make
things happen.

I Loved getting involved in CmPS, and
creating our own project from scratch made
it a lot more fun than just getting work. This
meant that we developed independence,
which became evident during our two tripsto Melbourne and America-where it was clear
that we were running our project.
