Year 7–8 Program: Foundations of Self-Awareness

Program Overview

Our Years 7–8 program supports students at a pivotal stage of emotional and social development. We focus on building emotional literacy, developing personal responsibility, and strengthening connections with others. Students learn how to respond instead of react, reflect on their impact, and understand the deeper drivers behind behaviour—both their own and others’.

We offer two delivery pathways based on your school’s capacity:

Track A – Full-Year Program (Recommended)

4 sessions per year

  • Term 1: KNOW – Who am I? What drives my behaviour?

  • Term 2: PAUSE – How can I manage emotion and respond with intention?

  • Term 3: BRAVE – How do I speak up, stay true to myself, and repair?

  • Term 4: GROW – How do I lead my life with purpose and courage?

This option allows students to build on each session, deepening their understanding and practising key skills over time. Ideal for schools committed to creating a strong culture of personal leadership.

Track B – Starter Pathway

2 sessions per year (Terms 1 & 3 or 2 & 4)
Schools can choose one set:

  • KNOW + BRAVE — Introduces core self-awareness and courageous communication.

  • PAUSE + GROW — Focuses on emotional regulation and values-led growth.

A powerful option for schools looking to start with impact and scale up in future years.

Additional Resources for Schools

Every TKS program comes with:

  • A Teacher Resource Pack to help embed program concepts in the classroom

  • A Parent Pack to extend learning into the home

  • Printable Reflection Tools to reinforce student learning between sessions

These resources ensure the impact of each session goes beyond the day itself—and becomes part of the school community’s ongoing language and growth.

What Students Will Learn:

  • Why we react the way we do—and how to choose differently

  • How to name and navigate emotions

  • The importance of perspective-taking and empathy

  • How to reflect on our impact and take ownership

  • Communication tools that build, not break, connection

Why It Works:

We meet students where they’re at, using real-world language, thought-provoking activities, and powerful self-reflection. This isn’t about “fixing” behaviour—it’s about helping students understand themselves and others, so they can show up with integrity and confidence.

Session Cost: $530 + GST per session
Sessions are best delivered in class groups for deeper impact, but can be adjusted for larger year-level delivery upon request.

We know that every school has different needs and capacities. Many choose to begin with one or two sessions to see the impact before committing to the full program. If you're unsure where to start, we're happy to explore options with you and tailor a pathway that fits.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations or date changes made less than 72 hours before the session will incur a $400 non-refundable fee.
