On Wednesday 20th November, Year 8 took part in a powerful all day workshop with our colleagues from Humanutopia titled 'Who am I?". The day covered vital topics for our pupils such as identifying their own barriers to success, seeing themselves in a totally different light and overcoming the barriers and then a consideration of what their future may look like, including what changes they need to make.
The day was split into 3 separate sessions:
Session 1 was the Comfort Zone in which the students reflected on their past helping them reflect on how they became the person they are. This session was a roller coaster as students were roaring with laughter one minute and deep in reflection the next minute.
Session 2 was the Stretch Zone where the students considered how the present could be so different if each person behaved differently. Our pupils found it highly engaging as they interacted with others outside their normal friendship group.
Session 3 was the Panic Zone during which our pupils imagined who they could be in the future, discussing dreams, hopes, goals and ambitions. The day was concluded when every student identified and committed to making three positive changes to improve their future.
