We were back at Ilim College last week to help the senior leaders develop their public speaking skills. We talked about the importance of connecting with the audience and how being present is more important than being polished. Here is some feedback from the students:

"My biggest lightbulb moment was realising that effective public speaking isn’t about having extreme confidence, if your content is strong and meaningful, your message can speak for itself."

"I enjoyed not only building the confidence necessary for public speaking but also learning the practical skills needed to deliver an effective and engaging speech."

"Rachel's ability to communicate and relate to us really encouraged me to try and lifted my mood. Her character is amazing and made me feel comfortable sharing my thoughts. I hope she reaches, helps and inspires more students to achieve their best!"

"The host was super nice and welcoming, I really appreciate it a lot! It was such a warm and comfortable space thanks to her so I'm very grateful"

"Ms Rachel was a fantastic guide/presenter. Her smile gave me more confidence and motivated me to participate in the activity to my maximum limit. Yellow arrow really taught me to have more confidence in myself and that my speech needs to engage my audience. It taught me how my speech just needs to have a voice that protects/guides it, which allows the point I’m making get across."

"Rachel was absolutely fantastic, so personable and really made us feel free to experiment with different communication forms and techniques."

We have loved working with Catholic Regional College, Sydenham over the last few months to provide a tailored sports leadership program for their Sports Academy students. Over the course of four sessions, we helped the students to explore their personal leadership style, practice working in a team, learn how best to provide and receive feedback and experience our virtual escape room. Here is some feedback from their teacher Andrew Mollica:

"The team at Yellow Arrow were able to come in and tailor a program that suited our students in the Sports Academy. The activities based around teamwork and leadership were always placed into a sporting context - which we were highly appreciative of. Students were able to work together collaboratively in workshops designed to explore the elements that were desirable for fostering a team first culture and what leaders roles were within that space. Thanks to all the team at Yellow Arrow - the work with our students was highly valuable and we look forward to working with you again in the future."

We had a great time with the 8, 9, 11 and 12 leaders at Caroline Chisholm Catholic College last term. The day was full of laughter and games whilst also learning about our own leadership styles, personality types, and how to create positive cultural change. Here's what some of the students had to say:

"This was definitely an experience of a life time and was incredibly enjoyable. The staff made the activities go by so seamlessly whilst ensuring that we all still had fun, engaging and participating at all times."

“I was able to meet new people, and interact with different personalities as well as get to know others better and their style of leadership.”

My biggest lightbulb moment was...

“Knowing that it's okay to step outside of your comfort zone.”

“During the building blocks activity, it made me understand the importance of listening and considering everyone’s feedback— giving everyone the chance to input— before making a final decision.”

“I realised that it was never awkward to be honest with yourself and others, and it is always important to have integrity, a strong sense of morality as well as communication.”

Last week we had loads of fun with the Braybrook College year 12s at The University of Melbourne. The focus of the session was connection and courage, exploring growing our comfort zones, problem solving and teamwork. Check it out!

Last Thursday we spent the day with the year 12 boarder students at Assumption College, Kilmore. The day was focused around bonding, preparing them to support each other and be leaders in their community. They were given the opportunity to reflect on their personal leadership style and explore how best to work together as a team. As with all our workshops, it was very hands on, with many opportunities for students to step up and challenge themselves, and lots of laughs along the way.

Here is some feedback from the students:

"I enjoyed the icebreakers and the different activities that served as metaphors and examples to put things into a further perspective."
Grace

(My biggest light-bulb moment was) "Realising that to make others feel comfortable you have to step outside your comfort zone too"
Freya

"That there are so many different types of leaders and even if there’s a quiet person in the back, they are still a leader they just view it differently"

"Rachel and Jai were great!"

"Leadership is caught, not taught"

We spent an amazing day with the student leaders from Clonard College Geelong last week to help them gain confidence as leaders, bond as a team and set some goals for next year. We're excited to hear how they go with their roles! Here is some feedback from the students:

"All the work we did in public speaking really opened my eyes to a confidence that was unlocked through it. Another light-bulb moment was when we were asked what our biggest critique was, and almost everyone said themselves, which made me feel like I’m not alone."

"Once our group had the opportunity to discuss current events and fundraisers and how to evolve them into bigger and better ideas, it was really great."

"I enjoyed how genuine the host/presenter was. Especially when touching on the fact that everyone makes mistakes. I also really enjoyed everything we learnt."

"If you don't try, you've already failed"

"Micheal was EXTREMELY nice and so so welcoming and warm. He was funny and made everybody feel safe and comfortable."
Kasey

"When ppl who said they weren’t comfortable with speaking in public got together but in that group I saw some speakers who I already rly admired. Made me realise that everyone is nervous"

It was great to spend the day with the wonderful student leaders from Cranbourne East Secondary College last month. They spent the day learning about their personal leaderships styles and coming up with initiatives for how they can make a difference in their school next year. Here is some feedback from the students:

"The presenters, Felicity and Rachel were absolutley amazing, ensuring everyone was engaged and being able to present ideas and ensure everyone collaborated in a way that suited the whole group rather than what they thought would've been good for us." - Urooj, Year 12 student

"As a leader, I get to work with many things. Some tasks are difficult, and some are easy, but I always stay ready to face challenges. My goal is to make a big difference at Cranbourne East Secondary College. I want to help make our school the best it can be a place where every student feels supported, respected, and proud to belong." - Pathiniyan, Year 9 student

"Such an amazing way to deliver different skills, and show the importance with skills, connection and communication." - Year 12 student

"I enjoyed talking to someone I hadn't before or have not in awhile. It definitely opened my eyes, and creating a new connections/ re-opening them, allowed me to be more connected and understanding of others." - Year 12 student

"When we were having convos with each other, I never thought I would be able to do it at first since I'm such an introvert, but everyone was so kind and welcoming, that didn't become an issue." - Asreet, Year 7 student

It's been a busy end to the school year! We visited Nagle College Bairnsdale last month to work with the student leaders from Nagle and Lakes Entrance Secondary College.

"Loveeeed it so much." - Year 9 student

"i loved working in groups and talking to people that i wouldn't usually" - Year 9 student

"I enjoyed how engaging it was" - Year 9 student
