Kicking Goals 

A teen seminar for setting goals then smashing them.

Bayside Youth Services is running Kicking Goals! - a free one hour seminar taking a closer look at how young people talk to themselves, assess their values and set goals. This workshop was created based on Youth Resilience Data, which indicated secondary school students blamed themselves for things and didn’t know if they were doing well.

The seminars will be hosted at Sandringham Library on Wednesday 22 February (4 - 5pm) and Tuesday 2 March (4 - 5pm) and is aimed at young people 12-17 years old. For more information and to register:
