"Hundreds of Year 9 and 10 students from Government schools across the state will soon become ‘respect champions’ thanks to a new Brumby Labor Government pilot program, No Regrets. Acting Premier of Victoria Rob Hulls announced the violence prevention program, funded by the Victorian Government and developed in partnership with Step Back Think and the Foundation for Young Australians.“Respect for ourselves, others and our community is the key to a healthy, friendly and productive community,” Mr Hulls said.“The example we set today will be carried through to the next generation. That is why our Government is developing a plan to promote respect – because we believe mutual respect is at the centre of what it means to be Victorian. We are very proud to support the No Regrets pilot program, which is aimed at strengthening the culture of respect in our schools and helping young people understand the consequences of their actions and avoid living their life regretting what they may have done or said.”
