'Go For It' Youths' Successes
Three pupils from Breadalbane Academy recently benefited by taking part in a three day Aspirational Learning Course held in The Church of Scotland facilitated by Franny McGrath (youth work co-ordinator for The Church of Scotland) and Niki Watson (The Hub) with peer educator Eoghann Menzies.
The Pacific Institute ‘Go For It’ programme is based on the 10 concepts of ‘Investment In Excellence’. The materials help to develop the inter and intrapersonal skills of students with thinking skills that develop their self esteem and self-belief, enabling them to achieve far more of their potential.
The ten concepts are based around research by some of the world’s leading psychologists. The course was funded through the Community Safety Local Action Fund with the packs being supplied by the Common Good Fund. |
