Fun and informal 1 hour interactive workshops for year 5 and 6 students to build respectful, positive social lives.
Pre-teenage children are developing relationship skills that will set a course through their adult lives. To give them the best tools for this social journey, we have created a 1 hour workshop program that comes to you. They’re fun, interactive, educational and empowering workshops that inspire young people to build healthier relationships with their friends and peers.
About the workshops
Friendships are a key part of school life – and often a major source of both joy and stress. These workshops are helping pre-teens to:
- Build stronger, more respectful friendships.
- Understand their own emotions and those of others.
- Communicate more clearly and kindly.
- Navigate common friendship challenges with empathy and confidence.
- Resolve conflict peacefully.
- Listen and be heard.
- Feel connected and supported by their peers.
- Reduce bullying.
Workshop activities are inclusive, age-appropriate and aligned with the Australian student wellbeing framework.
