Make Every Step Count! 2016 - 2018

Module 1 - Improving confidence and self-esteem/ Self-belief
techniques; the power of thoughts

Special School Tea party/dance
Secondary (GLD) for friends and family
Aged 11-16 yrs

We approached this module using a variety of
activities. We used the school counsellor to
run group sessions on ‘Think Good, Feel good’
where he discussed the power or negative
and positive thoughts. Other groups enrolled
in drama classes to raise confidence and thus,
self-esteem. Many students have tried new
activities to overcome personal fears and feel
more confident e.g. Scaling a climbing wall,
ballroom dancing and working with birds of
prey. Throughout the daily curriculum all staff
encourage our students by praising them and
telling them that they ‘can do it’! Drama sessions
