Shine & Strength Program

Some of our grade 5 and grade 6 students have been participating in a 6 week resilience program, facilitated by 1000 Generations. 

The Shine and Strength program has been uniquely created to give children the tools they need to believe in themselves and find their purpose for the future. 

The program aims to help students identify themselves as valuable with much to contribute to society, build confidence and gain an understanding of intrinsic value. 

The program will help develop decision-making and problem-solving skills and help them understand they are able to have a positive influence in their world. 

1000 Generations guide participants on journeys of self-discovery, helping them to enhance self-awareness, build confidence and develop a strong sense of personal agency. 

With a key focus on fostering emotional resilience, building a sense of community, creating a space where students feel valued and respected and promoting long term resilience and growth, the program encourages academic and social engagement strengthening connection with school and peers. The programs aim is to provide students with the skills and support they need to thrive both inside and outside of the classroom.
