Youth Personal Leadership Program

Power-Up Program

BUILDING YOUNG LEADERS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

Power Up is the precursor to our popular and impactful Accelerate Personal Leadership Program, and plays a crucial role in supporting students during their transition into high school.

By delivering this program to Year 7 students, young people lay the foundation for becoming a personal leader - taking responsibility for their thoughts, feelings and actions.

Evidence from our programs show time and again that these results in improved wellbeing, behaviours and attitudes of students, in turn, creating a more cohesive school environment.

  • Aimed at Year 7

  • Licensed as 12 lessons over a school term, for a school to deliver as per the Australian curriculum

  • 1 hr trainer accreditation and onboarding, along with ongoing coordination support calls to ensure maximum success of the program

  • 45-minute lessons (aligned to the Australian curriculum) per a school term - standard class size of Year 7 students

  • Access to online platform, which includes lesson plans & resources to deliver the prorgam

  • "I’m passionate about the Youth Opportunities program because its teachings are grounded in positive psychology theories and research. This stood out to me, as my background in positive education is closely linked to positive psychology. Thanks to this evidence-based approach, the program’s impact is long-lasting. We see it in the way young people speak and the growth they’ve experienced. We hear it in the feedback from parents and educators, who share how much confidence their students have gained."

    – Andrew Dunn, Principal, Springbank Secondary College

  • "I faced struggles in organisation and motivation for work—and sometimes everything in life. But this program has helped me find ways to get that motivation and to cope with the bad days better. I feel happier and more motivated in a way I haven’t been in a long time. I can say “I need to do this work” and actually do it with no distractions or excuses. I know what I want my future to look like and how to get there because of the support and the never-giving-up attitude this program gave. Outside of this program, I will use the Sending Stars and Positive Self-Talk—I feel those have impacted me the most."

    - Northern Opportunities Program Graduate

  • "Thanks to Youth Opportunities, I’ve discovered that I want to help others. I want to become a police officer - to be there for people when they are scared, uncertain, or going through the hardest moments of their lives. Now that the program is coming to an end, I know I’ll never forget the lessons I’ve learned, the skills I’ve gained, or the confidence to rise above negativity. I will never stop growing, and I’ll keep changing for the better."

Year 9 Workshops

We’ve been hearing from many schools that Year 9 continues to be a challenging point—where engagement can dip, anxiety increases, and peer connections begin to fray.

In response, we’ve designed a full-day workshop that directly tackles these issues in a practical and engaging way.

We’re excited to launch our Year 9 Workshops “Your Move – Plan Ahead, Skills for Life, Own It”

This workshop is focused on preparing Year 9 for a confident transition into senior school. The one-day workshop is for up to 120 Year 9 students per session.
