Following the conclusion of the criminal trial for the offender in 2017, the Pat Cronin Foundation no longer had any impediments to talk about what needed to be talked about – change in attitudes towards social violence and putting an End to the Coward Punch.
The first of our Be Wise Awareness sessions were presented by Matt and Robyn during the months of April, May and June 2018 at a range of sporting clubs and community groups and the reaction to each session far exceeded our expectations. The level of conversation that the sessions generated was so positive about the need for change. Our message is simple, if this could happen to Pat, it could happen to anyone.

On Wednesday night at Marcellin College we held a screening of our documentary that tells the story of what happened to Pat, the devastating impact on so many and the formation of the Pat Cronin Foundation.
After the screening we had a question and answer session and we were presented with a lovely card and gift.
Thanks to the Marcellin College community for their support of our message to Be Wise and to End the Coward Punch.

9 News coverage of the good news of the appeal by Ryan Wells being rejected.
Our thoughts and best wishes go out to the victim and we hope he is feeling a sense of justice today.
Cowardly acts of violence should never be tolerated and there has to be consequences. This is what has happened in this case:
- Business closed
- 6 months jail
- 18 month community corrections order
- Will not get a Working with Children check
- Known as a coward for life

Good news from the Courts today with the appeal of Ryan Wells (the Cowardly thug from Frankston) being dismissed. His 6 month jail sentence and then 18 month Community Corrections Orders stands.
Good to see real consequences being applied to these cowardly acts of violence.

“APPEAL DISMISSED. Ryan Wells will spend the next 6 months in jail, followed by an 18 month Community Corrections Order. @9NewsMelb”
Our Education Manager Ben recently presented one of our Be Wise Education sessions at Lilydale High School and as always he had great interaction with the students.
After his presentation Ben was introduced to one of the school’s Scrub Pythons (part of their reptile program). Thankfully they have some very Wise handlers who helped Ben get untangled.
If your school or club is interested in booking a Be Wise presentation please send us a message.
