During terms 3 and 4, seven year 7 girls participated in a ten week SHINE Girl Program facilitated by Ms Devetak, Head Teacher Return to School Centre. The SHINE Girl Program is about equipping girls with the knowledge and skills to discover who they are and the person they want to become. The program encourages participants to find the strength and courage within themselves to make healthy choices and to live to their full potential. The program is not aimed at stereotyping what girls should be like or how they should behave, but using a holistic approach, it reinforces that every girl is different and has different strengths, qualities and skills.
On the last day the girls organised a celebration afternoon and were presented with certificates and gift bags for completing the program. Thank you to all the girls who participated in the program for their maturity and commitment with a big thanks to Miss Sande Hughes for co-facilitating the SHINE Girl Program.
