The dynamic and engaging hosts worked with groups of Year 10 students to look at the art of communication and how we can influence others. The groups reflected on the need to present themselves positively and with confidence for a range of reasons in their lives and practiced strategies to support them with this.

Throughout the day, the groups built on their abilities to share their views and opinions leading to a short presentation at the end of the day to showcase the skills they had learned. The hosts were really impressed with the supportive nature of the groups towards each other, and the positive atmosphere created in the sessions.

Well done to everyone who took part and represented not just the school but themselves with pride!

“I started off feeling quite nervous, but this faded throughout the day. I loved how our speech could be about anything we were passionate about. I gained confidence and felt that I was heard. The teachers were encouraging without pressurising us.” Amira.C

“The workshop was fun. It helped me enhance my ability to speak in front of people, that I previously was not comfortable with. The experience helped me find my voice and helped me find the confidence I didn’t know I had.” Alfie.J
