- Create shared hopes and agreements that reduce common fears and support a cohesive, supportive Year 7 community.

Students will:

- Build resilience and emotional strength, using practical tools that shift mindset, increase happiness, and support healthier responses to challenges.
- Develop the confidence to be an upstander, choosing supportive, values-driven actions that positively influence their relationships and school community.
7 Steps to Motivate Yourself
Students will:
- Shift their mindset around setbacks and motivation, using practical tools like Power Self-Talk, energy changers, and the “On the Plus Side” technique to interrupt unhelpful thinking.
- Build resilience and direction by learning how focus, vision, and small daily steps increase motivation and reduce overwhelm.
- Apply seven science-based motivation strategies (pain/pleasure drivers, interest, movement, peer influence, chunking, etc.) to improve follow-through on schoolwork and personal goals.
"Getting Your Head Right for the HSC"
Students will:
- Shift unhelpful HSC pressure and cultural myths by gaining perspective and learning how thoughts, focus, and physiology influence stress and performance.
- Build emotional regulation and resilience, using practical tools to interrupt anxious thinking, reset their state, and reduce overwhelm during senior school.
- Create a personalised, realistic plan for success, including habits, goals, and behaviour strategies that make the HSC more manageable and sustainable.
The HSC Happiness Advantage
The session covers:
- Understand how the psychology of happiness fuels peak performance, learning to reverse the “I’ll be happy when…” mindset and access stronger focus, energy, and productivity in Year 12.
- Practise practical wellbeing tools — including EFT/tapping, meditation, gratitude strategies, and the Healthy Mind Platter — to reset stress, boost brain function, and regulate emotions.
- Interrupt unhelpful thought patterns, using questions, self-talk strategies, and anchoring techniques to shift perspective and reduce anxiety during high-pressure periods.
Accidental Counsellor for Teens
The session covers:
- Listen and respond with confidence
using presence, acknowledgement, validation, and reflective listening to help friends feel seen and supported. - Use practical, strength based strategies
such as rewording, reframing, “On the Plus Side,” and next-step thinking — without trying to fix or carry the emotional weight. - Know when and how to refer for extra support
by recognising signs that something is beyond a friend’s role, and confidently involving trusted adults or support networks.
PREPARING Year 10 FOR SENIOR STUDIES
Helps students enter Year 11 with clarity, strong study habits, and a realistic plan for managing senior school.
Students will:
- Understand what senior studies actually require by learning the habits, mindset shifts, and study behaviours that lead to success in Years 11 and 12.
- Build practical study and organisation skills including reframing unhelpful thoughts, planning workload, creating study notes, and using strategies that reduce stress and improve efficiency.
- Create a realistic action plan to enter senior years feeling prepared – with clear goals, balanced routines, and simple strategies to stay motivated and manage assessments.
- Handouts are sent to the school to be copied prior to the session.
- For the F2F sessions you need a venue that has a large screen, data projector and microphone.
Note 2: This session is a great precursor to the Year 11 sessions where we go into much more detail once students have started Year 11 and have a better frame of reference for senior learning. Year 11 follow-on sessions are ‘Achieving Your Personal Best’ (with Prue, about study skills) and ‘Getting Your Head Right for the HSC’ (with Human Connections, about well-being and mindset). If students have done the Year 10 session first, this helps to deepen the learning for the Year 11 sessions. Seeing the students across the 2 years will have a much greater impact.
Note 3: You can also do your own follow-up by purchasing the PDF resource SECRETS TO SENIOR SCHOOL SUCCESS. This resource can also be used as a precursor to the Year 10 or Year 11 sessions. The face-to-face sessions get students to look at the topics in a different and more interactive way than the worksheet sets.
