ASPIRE HIGHER 2

 

AUSTRALIA'S MOST ENGAGING AND TRANSFORMATIVE STUDENT LEADERSHIP INCURSION

best FOR YEAR 5 OR YEAR 6 STUDENTS

Yesterday was amazing. The program for the kids was exactly what they needed. I saw students who generally do not even speak with one another working together. In the shout out portion of the day I also saw students giving positive affirmations to other students who they are not necessarily friends with and they do not hang out with or are not in their class. Both Cody and Thomas were friendly and enthusiastic while keeping the kids engaged and moving forward. The feedback from the students and staff who attended has been extremely positive. Thank you for such a beneficial workshop and such wonderful facilitators who led it and we look forwards to next year’s workshop.
— Acting Pastoral Middle Leader, St Francis College

 

"Aspire Higher 2" is a full day workshop, best suited for your whole year 5 or year 6 cohort. This is a high energy, high impact training, and it calls upon every student to contribute through their influence, strengths, teamwork and actions. The following sessions are the next steps along the leadership pathway for your students. It provides a deeper exploration of the themes we embedded through ASPIRE HIGHER. Many schools use this as a very effective format for a 3 day school camp.
