Year 7–8 Program

Foundations for Self-Leadership, Connection and Emotional Awareness

Early adolescence is a time of transition, socially, emotionally, neurologically.
Students are forming new identities, navigating changing friendships, and often responding to the world with confusion, reactivity, or withdrawal.

The Knowing Self program helps them pause, reflect, and lead from within.

We guide students to:

  • Understand why they react the way they do

  • Make sense of their emotions and choices

  • Take ownership of their actions without shame

  • Learn how to repair, reflect, and reconnect

  • See others through a deeper, more compassionate lens

These aren’t just feel-good conversations, they’re life-changing insights that shape how students treat themselves and those around them.

Delivery Options

One Facilitated Session + Term Embedding Pack

A powerful starting point for building shared language and self-awareness.

You’ll receive:

  • One 50–60 minute live session for each class

  • A curriculum-aligned Embedding Pack to continue the work across the term

Embedding Packs include:

  • Short writing + group reflection activities

  • Character-led discussion prompts

  • Social scenario scripts for unpacking peer dynamics

  • Activities that integrate easily into English, Wellbeing or Tutor Time

This option is ideal for schools looking to introduce emotional literacy with depth , while aligning with existing curriculum outcomes.

Two Facilitated Sessions + Two Termly Embedding Packs (Recommended)

For schools committed to embedding culture change and supporting long-term student growth.

  • One session in Semester 1, one in Semester 2

  • Each session is followed by its own Embedding Pack

  • Builds language and insight across the year

This approach allows students to revisit, deepen, and expand their understanding , supporting emotional resilience and peer culture over time.

The Role of Our Characters

Students are introduced to six characters, each carrying a unique story.

These stories become a safe, powerful mirror for reflection.
Students explore:

  • What drives someone’s behaviour beneath the surface

  • How beliefs and past experiences shape responses

  • The way we all carry stories that others don’t see

Every session is built around these characters — giving students emotional distance to look more honestly at themselves.

Why It Matters at This Age

Without self-awareness, students stay reactive.
They repeat patterns, they misread each other, they struggle to take ownership.

This program changes that.
We help students understand not just what they do, but why — and we give them the tools to choose differently.

What Students Learn

  • How to name and navigate emotion

  • What’s beneath their own behaviour (and others’)

  • Tools for responding instead of reacting

  • How to speak up and repair when things go wrong

  • That who they are becoming is a story they get to write

Practical Details

  • Sessions are delivered class-by-class for maximum safety and impact

  • Suitable for all ability levels, with inclusive support for neurodivergent learners

  • Parent and teacher sessions are included at no extra cost — because we grow stronger together

  • Per Session cost $530 + GST
