Legacy Matters
Formerly known as "Balance the Big Years". Each student has a different mindset going into their final years of high school. For some the possibilities are endless; these possibilities fuel and form dreams of a life that is just waiting to be grasped. For others, possibilities are not so much endless but signify the end, with hopes of just getting the year over and done with. And still others, the thought of finishing high school might seem an impossible task. We challenge students to think about what they want to get out of their final years of school, and inspire them to dream big, by offering relevant, practical advice.

Transition Matters
Formerly known as "Transition to High School". The Transition from primary school to high school is one that fills students with excitement, anticipation, anxiety, and for some, even terror. The fears and worries students have about this change range from, increased workload, new teachers, making friends, meeting new people, and getting lost. All valid concerns, but this workshop aims to build resilience in the face of new challenges. The three major themes are: Change, Challenge, Choice.

Friendship Matters
How we get along with others is an important part of school and life. Having good friends is a fun part of growing up but we also know that sometimes things happen in friendships that cause us to feel sad, hurt, and lonely. Through story, discussion, activities, and videos, we encourage young people to reflect on how to be a good friend, how to get along with others, how to fix things when you make a mistake in your friendships and why forgiveness is super important. We aim to help them understand that friendship really does matter.

Easter 2023 - The Rescue
This Easter season we want to challenge young people all over South Australia to not only be there to help “rescue” a mate in need of help but to also display grit when life gets tough and to be OK with asking for help if they are not doing OK.
The core of the Christian faith revolves around a man who through His own resilience, courage, and grit, spent his life helping others and encouraging us all to help one another through the tough times.
We want to encourage young people to help rescue those who may need a hand and to be OK allowing a mate to rescue them too if they need help.
This interactive presentation offers an educational perspective on Christianity and the foundational story of Easter. It is shared in a non-judgemental and sensitive way, created for a diverse audience.

Identity Matters
We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with thousands of images. These images communicate something to us, about who we are expected to be – our value, our worth, our identity. Through story, discussion, activities, and videos, we look at our culture, critique it, and see if the messages we hear are helpful or harmful. We take the opportunity to get honest and talk real about body image, worth and value and consider how our individual perspective plays a role in how we view our identity.

We address concepts such as our digital reputation, online safety, sending nudes and the impact of social media on our mental health. Our message is that your reputation really does matter – both in the physical world and the online world, and that discernment and wisdom are your biggest weapons in the online world.
