IMPACT SESSIONS by UPP
ENGAGING AND INTERACTIVE STUDENT WELLBEING AND LEADERSHIP SESSIONS
““Dynamic, powerful, engaging, relevant.””
IMPACT SESSIONS are engaging, interactive presentations delivered by UPP at your school, focusing on just one topic for a short session (between 45-90 minutes). Through our WELLBEING AND LEADERSHIP IMPACT SESSIONS, we bring to your school the best research from psychology, neuroscience and education, and combine it with pedagogy that engages young people and inspires action. This is ideal for schools who have a designated Pastoral / Wellbeing lesson, or for large groups (+200 students).

“There were a lot of people who enjoyed your presentation. A lot of the people learnt something new or you reminded them about something. In my case you reminded me about things that I had forgot about that helped me before. The thing that I enjoyed most was the jokes and the part where we did the activities with our partner. Overall, your presentation was great and I thank you for coming to my school and giving us the opportunity to learn the stuff you talked about.” - Lachlan, Year 7
“Thank you for the encouragement you both gave today. When my teacher first mentioned we had to go and watch two random people talk I didn't honestly care yet when I got there it was the best encouragement I've had all year.” - Year 10 Student
“The sessions helped me to visibly see how each student possesses different strengths and weaknesses, in which when we come together, we are able to rise as a group and be the best we all can possibly be.” Year 11 Student
