Video: This Aussie PSA for staying in school is pretty shocking

If this won’t stop kids mitching off school, nothing will… WARNING: Some viewers may find the following footage a little disturbing.

If this won’t stop kids mitching off school, nothing will… WARNING: Some viewers may find the following footage a little disturbing.

The Aussie’s are pretty good at making memorable, eye catching adverts and the latest ad for the Learn for Life Foundation of Western Australia is certainly one that we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

The short was written and directed by Henry Inglis & Aaron McCann, two award winning filmmakers from Perth, and it was produced by Lauren Elliott.

It features a few Australian secondary school kids bunking off school for a fun day at the beach… or so they thought. Like we said, it gets a little disturbing about halfway through. So be warned.

The video is a little extreme considering the message, but still, it’s sure to make kids think twice before dossing off.
