Smart Moves
The overarching principle of this course is to equip children to deal with life challenges. Designed to help students with transitioning from middle school (year 6) to secondary school (year 7), as sometimes this transition can be stressful. Exploring thoughts and feelings throughout, as well as providing a useful long-term resource to refer back to in times of stress. It continues with year 7 students, helping them to learn how to cope when things are tough. A resourceful, practical programme which equips students with life-long resilience skills.
‘Express Your Emotions’
This is a fully fun and interactive workshop. Aimed to equip children to name and express their feelings/emotions through art. It creates a safe environment for sharing and reflecting on emotions. Art is a great way of expressing these emotions.
Resilient Minds
The Resilient Minds programme aims to empower students from year 2 to year 7 with the skills, mindsets, and knowledge to navigate life’s challenges effectively.
Recognising that setbacks, obstacles, and disappointments are inevitable parts of growing up and the human experience, this programme seeks to transform these moments into opportunities for personal growth.
Ultimately, our goal is to nurture a generation of children, who are not only academically prepared, but also emotionally prepared to face the ups and downs of life with confidence and courage.
