ROLE MODEL PROGRAMME

We have a highly involved network of role models from all over the world, including artists, Olympians, adventurers and musicians. Their stories are a powerful element of our programs and inspire young people to achieve their dreams and ambitions.
 

This programme provides students with access to positive role models and helps them explore their values, feelings, behaviours alongside building emotional resilience and positive emotional health and well-being.
 

Each programme is tailored to meet the needs of the students and led by a lead facilitator with 2 support mentors.

During the programme the students spend time with 2-3 visiting role models to build their own plans, goals and dreams.
 

Their personal journey is recorded in the 28 page ‘Little Book of Inspiration’ which provides a structured life coaching model for them to achieve their true potential and captures the personal journey of participants through utilising experiential learning techniques.
