This amazing program introduces students to “The Cycle of Bullying” and helps them to understand that there are in-fact 8 roles which are carried in a bullying scenario. Students are educated in how to recognise each of these active and passive roles and how they can act in a positive way in when they find themselves in each of these positions. Rather than passively avoiding potential bullying, students learn how to actively engage in and foster a positive anti-bullying culture. Our “Outsider Witness” session gives students an opportunity to see bullying from other students perspectives, thus fostering an environment of empathy and understanding.

Character Builders provided a fun-filled, interesting session to all our Year 9 students on Group Dynamics.  The presentation was funny, entertaining as well as able to engage the students in a meaningful way. We are looking forward to Character Builders working with our students in the future.

In our experience pre and early teens are among the most common subgroup of individuals participating in the race for social acceptance. Social interaction websites and media publications offer many advantages while at the same time luring our youth into a false reality of the ideal looks, fashion and behaviours. We educate and empower students to discover their true selves through exposing the positive and negative impacts of the digital age and social media on youth and the impact on self-acceptance and ones happiness. Students learn how to build confidence, set boundaries, talk and listen to themselves, and discover their character strengths.
