I was impressed by last night’s webinar – Louise broached a subject which one always feel should be intuitive (and therefore is all the harder to bear when it doesn’t turn out as it might) with real thought and sensitivity. I can see your ten tips playing well with parents at our school and will be sharing the recording. Thank you for the work that you and Frances do.

My daughter loved the sessions. As the weeks went on, I could really see her confidence develop. She loved how the course sparked her imagination and helped her believe in herself. She keeps asking if she can do the course again!

Asya’s attitude to making mistakes has completely changed for the better. She recognizes opportunities now to turn what isn’t perfect into something different. She still struggles with negative self talk and being hard on herself or comparing her abilities to others but the course has had a direct positive influence. This will serve her well in the classroom and in life where new challenges are less intimidating.

How to Develop Confidence in Children - Webinar
My 3 boys, aged 9, 8 and 6 are currently attending the Resilience course and they love it! Usually I can never get any information out of them about how their day went, but after the 1st session they came home chattering away about their activities. It's also lovely how each team lead sends a summary of how the day unfolded and I am able to carry out the discussion with the kids at bedtime. Really happy they're attending.

The introduction of Role Models workshops has had an enormously rewarding impact on our Prep 6 pupils. The flexibility of the school being able to choose the topics based on the cohort is very beneficial and the feedback from the children was more than encouraging. Most pupils rated that Role Models has given them better resources to deal with problems that may arise in the future or the confidence to do and be what they want. The weekly communication to parents has been received well and they are eager to get involved from home. We are very much looking forward to working with Role Models again this year and hope that we will be able to extend the workshops to other age groups as well.

Absolutely fantastic course. Hugo loved every minute of it. It would have been good to have a parent 1-2-1 after discussing the report as we are not as knowledgeable as you are, and therefore talking about a few points to continue at home would have been useful. Please let me know when you plan to do more in the Shrewsbury area.

James really enjoyed 'how' you taught him resilience (via games, etc) vs. a traditional method that doesn't resonate as much. Following, we saw him act out very independent actions whereby before the camp he was very hesitant . Strongly recommend!

We are so lucky to have Amy mentoring my son in two of his weekly sessions. She is a positive influence and provides just the right amount of challenge and encouragement and praise for him to slowly grow. We are very happy that he gets to see her on a regular basis as this helps them get to know each other and for my son to confide more or feel more comfortable in the interactions. We think that these sessions will have a beneficial effect over a period of time. It is a time for reflection about our actions and everyday thoughts about life. So glad we signed him up.

Role Models webinars are highly engaging and informative; they balance relevant educational theory and pedagogy alongside helpful takeaway strategies that our parents and staff have been able to put into practice straight away. Role Models are skilled at making sessions bespoke to the needs of your school community and feedback on their sessions has been overwhelmingly positive.

First of all, we already know that these programs are packed of really well-working, useful and proven content since our daughter had joined courses on-site and meanwhile also online a good couple of times over years. Impressive, that with expectations set so high, how much also this latest course took her way with inspiration, again. The highly skilled and ambitious role model and the way they the content would come across even in an online session were very effective and the results impressive, once more. She grows in confidence with every course and session. Awesome.

96% of children enjoyed or really enjoyed the courses, 82% of the parents felt that the skills their child developed on their course are important or very important to their future. We agree and found that teachers learned from the experience too and other Wellington College schools, hearing of the success of the programme, have adopted Role Models too.

My daughter really enjoyed the course and was totally engaged despite initial reservations. Amy delivered the sessions in a sensitive and appropriate way making sure that my daughter was fully included despite her communication difficulties and access issues. She has taken to heart the learnings from the course which, I hope, will stand her in good stead in the future. Thank you Role Models for a truly excellent course.

Even though my 7 yo daughter only attended the last 2 sessions, but I highly recommend this to everyone. My daughter learns so much and she came out from the class feeling more confident. She applies the teachings in her everyday life when the negative thoughts come and she was bummed to hear that it was the last class. She wanted to take more and she doesn't even think that this class is that long. She truly enjoy the 1 hour session, fully engaged, and loving every minute. 5 stars for Billy the Bunny! <3

The class was really engaging and Claudia really enjoyed it. She struggles with all kinds of mistakes and I think hearing about the mindset to take in this kind of environment is something that will really help her. Although I was slightly reticent about concentration for a 6yo with it being an hour long class, the way it's broken down into segments really helps to hold attention.

Abstract but vital concepts like grit, resilience, growth mindset, power of positive thinking... are hard topics to teach and get across but just thinking and knowing about these terms and concepts can help in real life situations, even if applied retrospectively.

The course was instrumental in providing my son and me with the necessary push to shift his confidence. The content appears well thought of, clear, easy to absorb and very interesting. Each session covered clear, relevant and very insightful topics. The delivery was excellent - very clear explanations, backed up by examples. The end of the day feedback is ideal, since I can help me with the implementation of the newly acquired knowledge. Last, but not least - Ms. Sally was fantastic!

What an excellent course! Our instructor, Ms. Courtney is marvelous. My bright kid is a perfectionist and this life skills course is what he needed the most - the skills of critical thinking and problem solving, I think will be extremely helpful when he encounters frustrations. the content of this course is well structured and the instructor interacted with my kid in a very interesting way. The instructor had a good rapport with my kid and gave feedback and supporting top to me right after each class so we can practice it in our daily life

On the first day, I was a little bit nervous, and I thought it would be boring but it was amazing! I learnt about strategy and teamwork. On the second day I learnt about listening skills and on the third day I don't know because I am writing this on the third day. My favourite thing was that the challenges were fun.

My daughter actively participated with her own thoughts. So I trust she really grew, by being more confident to remember and apply her skills in real-life situations. It's always a pleasure to listen to how she referred to her sessions afterward - she was cheerful and it seems the session was like a valve where she would be able to review situations she hadn't been able to completely reflect with anyone else before. Thanks for providing so much valuable and experienced input and working with my daughter this week!

My son loves this class! He looks forward to seeing Teacher Kalia every week and the lessons come with a lot of advice and positivity to help my son socialise well and feel confident. I also appreciate that after each lesson, Teacher Kalia also sends a very comprehensive review of what was covered, as well as some great tips on how to take it forward.

We enrolled our son in this class for him to learn life skills. His teacher, Miss Holly, is great at connecting with our son on his level, and he always leaves the class with a big smile on his face, while learning important skills on resilience. Great class, would highly recommend.

My daughter was resistant to do her first session but was more than happy to do her second one. That to me speaks a lot about how good Miss Suraiya is at holding the kid's attention and making them feel at ease.

I was so impressed both with the content on the day and in the follow ups. My daughter has been quoting the terminology ever since and is doing all she can to push herself into the learning zone and use the tools that were provided. It really was fantastic and I just can't rate it highly enough. Miss Catherine was also really engaging and kind. The follow up report was really tailored to my daughter and in depth and I really felt that Miss Catherine had understood her.

This class is very well organized and our role model, Ms. Jordan, was so kind and understanding. My learner is 5 years old. So she struggled a bit with the length of the class. But, the role model helped her stay on task with verbal cues and showed LOTS of patience.
- Allison
Parent
Masterclass
This was such a wonderful class. My daughter liked it so much she even joined one week while we were on a vacation. It is worth to take all 10 lessons. The teacher emailed feedback with follow up activities every week. We are actually going to start doing one activity a week for the next 10 weeks to reinforce the concepts. They go over growth mindset, gratitude, positive thinking, resilience. We are a very growth mindset family, but my oldest has a very fixed mindset and having another caring adult sharing and practicing these skills was very helpful to reinforce these messages!

Our 6-year old has been working with teacher Abi for a few months now, and we can see quite a change in how she handles conflicts and acts on issues that bother them, with confidence. Teacher Abi's influence has been very impactful and we are truly grateful. She also sends after-session reports in great length describing her approach during the session, what our child was asked to respond to, and provides additional materials to follow up with. It's been a pleasure working with her.
