As part of their enrichment programme, Year 12 and 13 students took part in a three-week carousel of online workshops, delivered by external speakers. Each week focused on a different theme, giving students the opportunity to develop practical life skills, deepen their understanding of others, and build resilience to support their wellbeing and personal development.

First Aid
In this interactive youth workshop, students learned essential first aid skills and how to respond confidently in an emergency. Using everyday objects, learners explored practical ways to help others, while also gaining a clear understanding of where and how to seek support for their own injury or illness. The session focused on building confidence, awareness and a willingness to act when it matters most.

Empathy and Migration
This workshop explored the experiences of migration and the reasons why people may be forced to leave their homes. Through stories and reflective activities, students were encouraged to put themselves in the shoes of others, helping them to develop empathy and understanding. The session supported learners in challenging common assumptions about migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, promoting thoughtful discussion and greater social awareness.

Coping with Challenges and Building Resilience
This resilience-building workshop used experiential learning to help students develop skills to better manage the challenges they face. Learners explored the four pillars of resilience, examined the link between strong connections and wellbeing, and built confidence in applying these strategies to real-life situations. The session aimed to equip students with practical tools to support their mental and emotional resilience beyond the classroom.
