Puppets a great learning tool

14 September 2011

Parkes Public School students sat in on a special puppet show where the aim was to educate them through fun and laughter of the best way to support cancer sufferers particularly their classmates.

Organised by Camp Quality, the presenters, via their three puppets, proved that laughter was the best way to educate those present about cancer.

The show was part of a regional tour and was co-funded by Camp Quality and McDonalds.

Students saw how children suffering cancer can also go through a form of bullying at school because of the side effects of medical treatment such as weight loss and the loss of hair.

The show got a strong message across to children through the use of laughter and comedy.
