In our REACH FOR THE STARS workshop we will focus on these key areas…

• Ways to develop healthy self-esteem to help deal with sticky friendship situations
• Fostering friendships with those who respect us and treat us well
• Techniques to be be assertive
• Building bully-proofing skills
• Ways to dream big
• Following your heart
• How to respond when things don't go your way
• Embracing challenges

The girls will explore these topics through movement, music, worksheets, vibrant discussion, active games with props, role play and art/craft. The workshop ends with a short presentation for parents. Suitable for girls aged 7-12 yrs (please note that girls need to bring their own packed lunch and snack).

We run Girl Power workshops every school holidays and each holidays we offer something different. This means that girls can come along multiple times and always learn something new.

All instructors are experienced teachers with First Aid training and police clearance.

In June 2019, Girl Power Workshops won a national 'What's On 4 Kids' award ('Best New Kids' Activity').

What do parents, teachers and girls have to say about our workshops?

“At Girl Power, I learnt that I can do anything” Jiorgina (8)

"When my daughter came home after your session, she was so proud of her Girl Power pack, what she had written and what others had affirmed. I saw after a very long year of tears and temper a glimmer of self-esteem and confidence I have not seen in such a long time. Thank you!!!!” Victoria (parent of school workshop participant)

“I think Girl Power is good because some people think they have to change but I don’t need to change anything about me” Ava (8)

"I was so impressed with how the workshop ran. The activities were all great fun with a positive and empowering message underlying each of them. The girls finished the day with tools to help them think more positively about themselves and how they handle the inevitable difficulties they face in social situations. Fabulous. I highly recommend Girl Power workshops!" Natushka, mother of Josie (9)

"My daughter and her friend had such a wonderful time today Joni. They were busy talking about their favourite parts (all of it) and it's been wonderful to see them put into practice some of the things they learnt such as their gratitude box. Wish there had been workshops like this for me when I was young. Thanks for this" Jess, mother of Matilda (11)

"A fabulous workshop for young ladies to encourage positive mind set, supportive behaviours and self value” Debbie, Primary School Teacher

“Lily loved it! She was excited to share what she learned with us. Also, the "smiley" vs "frownie" technique has already been applied at home. Thanks!” Anne-Marie, mother of Lily (7)

"Thank you so much for a wonderful workshop. Lola had a wonderful time. She thoroughly enjoyed the workshop!" Angie, mother of Lola (7)
