the journey
 

“The Journey” is a full-day program covering everything from stress management to friendship do’s and don’ts. Using a combination of hands-on and interactive activities we involve the girls in a fun, informative introduction to secondary school. This program is designed to assist in the transition from Year 6 into Year 7 and is ideal as part of an overall school transition program.

Workshops Include:

Girl World

Friendship rights and responsibilities, making new friends, coping with conflicts... all of these present big problems for many girls in middle school. This workshop equips girls with the necessary skills and knowledge to avoid having friendship problems and to deal with any friendship issues resiliently.

What To Pack

Time management, prioritising and creating positive learning spaces are all important skills for young women to master as they enter high school. This workshop will provide some practical strategies that will assist them in achieving their academic potential.

The Travel Diary

Journal writing is an effective and emotionally healthy form of stress management. Keeping a journal can help the girls to learn more about themselves and their place in the world. In this workshop the girls will have the opportunity to unwind and work together to create their own artwork, which will be used to embellish their journals.

Stop, Revive, Survive

Stress, pressure, deadlines: just because they’re young doesn’t mean girls don’t suffer from the effects of a busy lifestyle. This workshop teaches basic stretching and relaxation activities, including meditation and positive visualisation, which are all designed to help young girls relax and maintain a positive outlook.

Our Holiday Snaps

The Enlighten team will record images and the hopes and dreams shared on the day; these will be collated in a short film that will serve as a visual record of their orientation. This package is wonderful for the girls to look back on once their high school journey is completed.

The Travel Diary was my favourite part because I now have something to do scrap-booking in and to write what I have learnt – that friends are important and so are our words.

I thought today would be way different but it was way better. My favourite part was talking about friendships.
