Year 8 students entertained by performers from the Warner Awareness Education Group who used humour and hip-hop to teach the students.

It highlighted choices the students may be faced with as they grow older including smoking, drug use and drinking.

Principal Simon Reid said the program was another way to empower adolescents to make the right decisions.

"It was a really positive and proactive approach to teaching students to make the right decision at the right time," he said. "It was a humorous and entertaining performance but it was also educated in the message it communicated."

He said the students were enthusiastic and engaged throughout the performance.

Yarra Ranges councillor Richard Higgins said the program was designed to complement other initiatives designed to minimise graffiti tagging and anti-social behaviour.

"It was fantastic to see the students laughing and joking as they learn. While we may never see the results directly, I am sure the results will be there," he said.

There were also performances at Manchester Primary and Rolling Hills Primary as part of the Yarra Ranges Shire anti-graffiti campaign.

Mayor Terry Avery said the presentation aimed to engage students to raise awareness about the impact of graffiti.

"Graffiti and anti-social behaviour continues to be a problem in our community. It's great to see a new program aimed at young people to help in the education process."
