"Schools across Victoria will be even more welcoming to people with a disability thanks to a new Brumby Labor Government resource kit that was launched. Community Services Minister Lisa Neville and Education Minister Bronwyn Pike launched the Bar None Community Awareness Kit at North Melbourne Primary School. The kit aims to assist in breaking down any fears or barriers towards people with a disability. The Bar None Community Awareness Kit for Schools includes curriculum units for prep to year 8 students that are linked to the Victorian Essential Learning Standards, a professional development module, a teacher information booklet and a DVD featuring real-life stories about students with a disability, their families, teachers and principals."
