 * Steve Waugh Presents; Chase Your Dreams**

I first stumbled upon the Steve Waugh Presents; Chase Your Dreams (SWPCHYD) kit for teachers when on prac at Canberra high and told to hang out with the school councillor for a day, the councillor then just let me dig through the wealth of different resources they had. Obviously being an Australian Male when I saw Steve Waugh’s name I was drawn to it. When I saw this assessment I was reminded of the kit and hit Google.

The SWPCHYD kit was distributed to all government and non-government schools in 2005, it contains a DVD, video, a poster and a bunch of support materials for teachers. The DVD featured a bunch of inspirational Australians including Cathy Freeman, Pat Rafter and of course Shannon Noll. The kit has a focus on developing students forming friendships, accepting diversity, dealing with pressure, having a go and believing in yourself.

I believe the kit would be a real tool for inclusive education through being able to better educate and develop your students to be inclusive themselves (especially if you manage to dig one up while kids still remember who Steve Waugh and Shannon Noll were).
