Susan’s fun and interactive 90 minute Primary School student session is suitable for students in the final years of primary school. The theme of this 90 minute session is Respect and Responsibility. Students complete a comprehensive four page work book which reinforces the learning outcomes.

After a few minutes, Susan has even the most challenging audience listening intently as she recounts her extensive experience in this space, from her first report of cyberbullying in 1994 to her training with the FBI, her visit to Facebook’s HQ & her work with elite sports clubs and other organisations.
