POSITIVE IMPACT PACKAGE
HELPING YOUR STUDENT LEADERS MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN 2022
““It is a highlight of the year working with the UPP team. They consistently deliver a highly engaging, tailored program that empowers students to believe they can achieve great things and make positive impacts in their school community.””
““It was absolutely incredible. I was blown away by the attention to detail, careful balancing of theory and practice, the carefully sequenced activities that built towards independence, the quality of the presenters, the workbook - everything. It was just so good, so impressive. Went way beyond what I expected. It was like you developed the ideal version of what I wanted the session to be, beyond what I thought could be included. So impressed. You all went above and beyond for this one.””
““Unleashing Personal Potential’s Positive Impact Program allowed our aspiring student leaders to develop knowledge and skills to influence their peers and deliver a project for their school community. They worked in teams to identify how they could have a positive impact through their actions and learnt so much through the reflection and evaluation process that is built into program. Practical, fun, challenging and potentially life changing. The presenters connected with our students and gave direction, but our students delivered the impact. Highly recommended for all schools.””
““It has been a pleasure working with UPP over the past four years with the City Cluster Student Leadership program. This program supports student leaders from 14 different Primary schools to develop and lead an impact project that benefits their entire school community. The workshops are positive, full of energy and offer direction and strategies for effective leadership and project planning. I highly recommend UPP to any school wanting to grow their student leadership culture.””
UPP’s Positive Impact package for Primary schools is a transformative, flexible package for schools who want an AUTHENTIC, RELEVANT, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE for their students.
This package has been designed to help your student leaders to:
Lead by example, service and action;
Build healthy relationships with their peers;
Develop a positive school culture;
Make a positive, lasting impact in the school community by implementing a POSITIVE IMPACT PROJECT;
Experience genuine, authentic opportunities for all of your senior students to contribute and serve the school community;
Improve collaboration, teamwork skills, respect, listening skills and empathy;
Focus on contribution and improving the world by thinking globally and acting locally.
If your students work in groups / ministries / portfolios / committees with certain responsibilities (eg environment, sport, culture, community, house spirit, faith leadership), the POSITIVE IMPACT package will give them the scaffolding and support to make their project a success. Some examples of these student-led projects that UPP have supported in the past include building a buddy bench, designing and painting a mural of school values on a wall, creating a sustainable garden somewhere in the school, creating a new code of conduct for students, designing a new school map for visitors and new students, running a special fundraising, sporting or cultural event. The online component consists of 10 short modules (30-60 minutes each), that teachers are able to lead with their students at times that are suitable for their school.
THE 10 MODULES INCLUDED ARE:
MODULE 1 - HAVING A POSITIVE IMPACT
MODULE 2 - EVERYDAY LEADERSHIP
MODULE 3 - LEADERSHIP IS INFLUENCE
MODULE 4 - DIFFERENT LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS
MODULE 5 - THINKING GLOBALLY, ACTING LOCALLY

““This is not just about the positive impact the UPP team will have on your students, it is about the positive impact your students will have on the world.””
““UPP are highly professional in their approach, facilitating a leadership day with our College that both reinforced the work we had already undertaken with the students as part of our leadership process while introducing complementary information to enhance their understanding of student leadership. They did this using theory and practical activities which engaged and inspired the students to make an impact as College leaders in their senior year.””
““An outstanding experience of leadership, through connection, activity, conversation, engagement and influence.” ”
““Just like to thank you all for a great day. Our presenter, Peter, was sensational, witty and engaging. Organised, engaging and presented to the kids level. The kids enjoyed the day and learned a lot.””
““I can not speak highly enough of the program and the presenters!! They kept my group’s attention for 2 days and ran a great program. I have been in education for around 25yrs and this is the best student development and leadership program I have seen!””
““The Aspire Higher Incursion is exactly what we wanted for our Year 6 students and the delivery and content of the program was outstanding and exceeded any of our expectations here at Orange Grove. It has certainly set the year up for us at Orange Grove and we thank you for all the hard work. Our kids were hanging off every word. The team were so approachable, warm and friendly with both students and staff.” ”
DETAILS AND OPTIONS FOR YOUR SCHOOL POSITIVE IMPACT PACKAGE
This package has been mapped against ACARA’s Personal and Social Capability and addresses each of the 4 elements. Through UPP’s Positive Impact package, you will unify your senior students (and teachers) with a common language about leadership, and an agreed understanding of leadership qualities. Furthermore, your students will consider the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and align their POSITIVE IMPACT PROJECT with one of these challenging global goals, at the local level.
There are two options for implementation. Option 1 includes Face to face workshops, plus online training modules, while Option 2 is only the Online training modules. Each are explained below.
**OPTION 1- FACE TO FACE WORKSHOPS + ONLINE TRAINING MODULES**
This full service option involves multiple face to face workshops, delivered by UPP at your school, as well as online support resources in order to support your students in their POSITIVE IMPACT PROJECT throughout the year.
The workshops are run by UPP at your school and delivered directly to the whole cohort of students. The best venue for the face to face workshops is your school hall (or similar), as we use a learning, action, reflection process throughout the sessions. For the greatest impact, we recommend that classroom teachers are present and involved for the duration, as this has many benefits to the students and school moving forward.
Included in the POSITIVE IMPACT PACKAGE:
1, 2 or 3 exceptional UPP workshops for your students, delivered at your school by UPP. The workshops are: ASPIRE HIGHER, ASPIRE 2 and POSITIVE PEER RELATIONSHIPS.
High quality follow-up lesson plans to ensure the messages have a lasting impact. Check out a sample follow-up lesson plan and student workbook here.
A whole year level VIP license to Leading from the Front online package to support your students with the POSITIVE IMPACT PROJECT (including access to videos, checklists, scripts, posters, webinars and a student workbook for each participant). Teachers will have access in order to guide the students through their project.

Ongoing phone and email support from one of UPP’s specialist Leadership coaches for the duration of the student project.
Two media releases developed by UPP for your school (for your newsletter or local paper). The first to announce the POSITIVE IMPACT PACKAGE to your parent and wider local community, and another to celebrate the success of your students upon completion of the project.

**OPTION 2- ONLINE TRAINING MODULES**
This option, which is new for 2021, allows schools to use UPP’s frameworks, principles and process to guide their students through the IMPACT PROJECT, so that they can make a POSITIVE IMPACT at the local level.
The online option is best for schools who would like to develop the leadership skills of a small group of formal leaders and is more affordable for schools.
UPP’s IMPACT LEADERSHIP ONLINE TRAINING MODULES are now open for registration at the introductory rate of $500+GST.

““The UPP facilitators win the students over with their passion, enthusiasm and encouragement. Students develop skills through meaningful yet engaging activities in a safe environment. Students walk away motivated and driven to be leaders of change within their school communities. The project gives students the skills to identify a need within their school community and then plan and lead initiatives to respond to this need. Finally they have the opportunity to feedback the learning of their journey and initiative to the other participants. In addition, friendships made throughout the Pilot Project in 2018 were reported to still be strong over a year later, according to various school staff.””
““WOW! Brilliant! Pete had the kids’ attention and they were motivated and fully engaged. We look forward to booking you in next year. Thanks for such a great service.””
