School Leavers: Survival Guide - empowering our youth to succeed!

The FREE mobile workshop is designed to help school leavers prepare for their transition into the BIG WORLD and will be available throughout the Goulburn Valley from secondary schools and youth centres. The project focuses on the challenges that school leavers are faced with, including; managing change, overcoming adversity and finding positive mentors, which can often be confusing for students who may not prepared for the journey ahead. The one hour workshop is designed as an additional toolkit for students to use in addition to their secondary and/or tertiary education. FREE resources are also provided to students who attend.

The transition from secondary school into the workforce or tertiary education can be an extremely turbulent and uncertain time for students who may be unsure what to do with their new found 'freedom'. The aim of the mobile workshop is to support all youth within our community who may be struggling with the transition from school and need to balance fun and relaxation with focus and reality. Every attendee will learn techniques to combat disappointment, rejection and peer pressure, which can significantly impact on self-esteem and future success, thus affecting the health and happiness of our community.
