you are MORE THAN ENOUGH just as you are

Several years ago we stumbled across the ChooseREAL campaign and as a result we utilised some of their posters around the school. The purpose was to directly combat some of the issues that are impacting on our girls - whilst we would like to think that things have not got worse they aren't necessarily getting better. So this page will appear in the newsletter from now on to provide information about the ChooseREAL campaign and hopefully a lot of positive information for our community and our girls!

Current statistics show that 70% of girls believe that they are not good enough or don't measure up in some way.

Teenage girls are increasingly being discontented and detached from life. In a culture that dictates how they should look, act, and live in order to be enough, many have lost their true sense of worth and identity.

Statistics are rising in the damaging effects of low self-esteem, self-harm, depression and suicide... But these can all be limited and even avoided... Replacing the debilitating messages we are consuming with a new power;

to CHOOSE what we intake,

to CHOOSE to embrace and celebrate our REAL identity and value,

CHOOSE to see our own strength, worth and unlimited potential,

CHOOSE to be REAL about where we're at,

CHOOSE to encourage and enable each other, CHOOSE to just be.

ChooseREAL.

75% of girls suffering from low self-esteem are engaging in self-destructive behaviours, depression, self-harm and even suicide. THEY NEED OUR HELP!
