What is the Free the Funk School Program?

OneWave delivers 'Free the Funk' programs at primary and high schools to raise awareness of mental health. We know early prevention, connection, and conversations save lives, so we bring colour to mental health and share tips and tools that young people can use throughout their lives. Teachers and students are encouraged to dress in fluro (this is optional).

What age group are the programs for? We provide Free the Funk Programs for primary and high schools students.

Location: We can present at your school assembly or adapt to smaller groups.

Dates: Monday Monday 27 April - Friday 1 May (morning or afternoon session available).

Duration - 45 minutes:

  • We can run one program for the entire school or break it into two sessions for the different age groups.

  • We can run a shorter session than 45 minutes if that works better for your school.

Example format of session:

  • Presentation from the OneWave team - raising awareness of mental health through saltwater therapy, surfing and fluro.

  • Learn tips and tools for taking care of your mental health and how to support your friends and family.

  • Students get an opportunity to share their free the funk tips.

  • Q & A - students get a chance to ask the OneWave team questions.

Costs - Programs are free of charge to primary and secondary schools.
