Students at the school were visited today by staff from the [Esperance Community Health Centre][1].
Being [World Diabetes Day][2] today, they were here to educate the students about diabetes, its symptoms and management, and how they can give themselves the best opportunity of avoiding it later in life.
Rather than being a dry boring lecture, we were treated to a live drama with actors, costumes and everything. An excellent way to learn!
