Welcome to our Switched On live assembly 2025: Living Switched On!
From understanding the role of peer pressure, group mentality and the impact their decisions can have, this assembly will explore a range of themes to help your students make responsible and safe decisions around the tracks.
Note: this assembly is appropriate for pupils aged 12-16. Due to the nature of the subject matter please be advised that some content in this assembly will explore dangerous behaviour. Whilst nothing explicit will be shared, we recognise some of these issues may be triggering for some students so please consider when registering.
