Frequently Asked Questions
Can programs be tailored to our students?

Programs can be adapted according to student age, group size, confidence levels, physical ability, school priorities and the outcomes you want to achieve.
Your program may focus more heavily on fitness, confidence, wellbeing, leadership, emotional regulation, school engagement or a combination of these areas.
Before recommending a format, we will discuss what your school is experiencing and the students you want to support.

Sessions are designed to be inclusive, supportive and achievable. Students can participate at their own level while gradually building confidence and capability.

Programs can be adapted for upper primary and secondary school students.
The language, activities, expectations and wellbeing content are adjusted according to student age and developmental needs.
We can recommend the most suitable format after discussing your cohort.

Programs can also be designed for students requiring targeted wellbeing support.

How do you manage student safety?
Safety is built into the structure of each program.
Activities are selected according to student age, ability, experience and the school environment.
Students are taught safe movement techniques, equipment use and appropriate participation expectations before progressing into more challenging activities.
Programs are also designed to be non judgemental, inclusive and emotionally safe.
What equipment does the school need to provide?
This depends on the program.
Some sessions can be delivered using existing school facilities and equipment. For other programs, Healthy Teens may bring selected equipment such as boxing pads or training resources.
We will confirm equipment, venue and setup requirements before the program begins.
Do we need a school gym?
No.
While school gym programs require access to suitable gym equipment, many boxing, empowerment, mentoring and fitness sessions can be delivered in a multipurpose room, gymnasium, hall, outdoor area or suitable classroom space.
Can female staff attend or support the sessions?
Yes.
Schools are welcome to have teachers, wellbeing staff or support staff present.
Staff involvement can also help reinforce program themes and support students between sessions.

Programs can be aligned with areas such as:
• Student wellbeing
• Physical activity
• Respectful relationships
• Leadership development
• Emotional regulation
• School engagement
• Resilience
• Positive body image
• Healthy habits
We can also discuss current concerns or themes your school would like addressed.

Where appropriate, Healthy Teens can use:

• Student reflections
• Staff feedback
• Confidence and engagement measures
• Fitness testing
• Facilitator observations
The measurement approach will depend on the program type and school objectives.

Reporting can help schools evaluate the program and plan the next stage of student support.

Programs can be adapted for culturally and linguistically diverse students and cohorts with different levels of confidence, English language ability and prior experience with fitness or wellbeing programs.

• Venue and equipment
• Any relevant student considerations
We will then recommend the most appropriate structure for your school.
