Develop skills and become a lifelong learner for an engaged, fulfilling life, improving your wellbeing, resilience and motivation!
Whoever you are and whatever your challenges, you can teach yourself to make the changes required to succeed, engage, and achieve by unlocking your potential.
When you experience hard times, roadblocks or are feeling stuck, there are skills you need to learn to help you improve, grow and develop.
There are three programs currently available, run as small group online sessions, facilitated by a Psychologist and target teenagers in years 10-12.
Each program consists of three 2 hour sessions run after school.
They develop your mental fitness and resilience by helping you identify roadblocks, discover the skills you need to thrive, and teach you how to develop those skills and strategies to overcome your challenges.
