On February 26-27, 2009 Red Cap Trainer Pat McInnes and Valerie Pavey travelled to the Canberra City Oasis Corps to conduct Red Cap Train the Trainer.  The 13 delegates (and one very large huntsman spider) from the Australian Eastern Territory who participated in the training were from a variety of ministries including school chaplains, children social workers, corps officers and divisional youth officers.  Pat led the trainers through the Red Cap materials using the well designed and interactive training materials from the Canada and Bermuda territory and challenged them to consider their own anger, its source and how they deal with it, so that they would be better equipped to help elementary age children deal with their own anger issues.

The delegates enjoyed the opportunity to received this training and new resource which they envision putting to use almost immediately with their current in-school ministries.

To receive training to be a local school facilitator in your community, please contact your divisional headquarters and ask the divisional youth secretary when their next training is scheduled.
