Interaction With Education
Scientology has arranged at least one anti-psychiatry exhibition in Australia, and is active in the media about what it claims are the dangers of psychiatric drugs and the treatment of ADHD. Scientology, through its group Narconon has run an anti-drug campaign in dozens of schools in Melbourne, giving presentations and handing out brochures. Scientology members have also attended events like the Big Day Out to give out anti-drug information.
One school in Australia, the Athena School in Newtown, Sydney uses Scientology study technology. The Athena School has 90 pupils ranging from pre-school to year 10. It has eight teachers, who have completed six months' training in L. Ron Hubbard teaching techniques but do not hold formal qualifications. Some children at the school are involved in Scientology community out reach programs operating under different names, including Drug Free Ambassadors.
