Year 9 Home Group
Resilience Activities
This fortnight, the resilience Home Group topic was Confidence.
Confidence, as well as positive self esteem can be achieved when your abilities are acknowledged by others.
For most teenagers, performing any skill (whether it be solving a problem on the board in Mathematics, an oral presentation in English, or speaking to a large audience at an assembly) in front of their peers can be extremely challenging. However, it is in these challenges, big or small, that confidence is built.
During Home Group, teachers were asked to to recognize and acknowledge some of the skills and talents that our students have.
For example;
- Doing a magic trick
- Juggling
- Dancing
- Sport (bringing in a medal or trophy)
- Photography (bringing in a photo they have taken)
- Impersonations
- Playing a musical instrument
