Incursions and Workshops

Movement Opens the Door to Meaningful Conversations

Some students struggle to engage with traditional presentations about wellbeing, behaviour and relationships.

Healthy Teens uses movement to break down barriers and create opportunities for more honest conversations.

Students participate in physical activities, practical challenges, scenarios, group discussions and guided reflection. This helps them connect wellbeing concepts with situations they experience in everyday life.

Rather than simply telling students what they should do, we help them practise how to respond.

Helping Students Develop Greater Emotional Control

“Many students who were initially hesitant to participate in physical activities became actively engaged, showing noticeable improvements in both their physical capabilities and their overall attitude towards fitness.”

Mark Bennett, Deputy Head of Middle School (Boys), Haileybury College.

The School’s Goal

Lyndale Secondary College wanted to support a targeted group of students to better understand anger, regulate their emotions and respond more calmly during challenging situations.

What Healthy Teens Delivered

• 100% of participating students said they would recommend the program
