LifeChanger Programme

Tuesday, 13th October 2026 at 9:10am

POSTPONED!

Due to a change in events, this programme has been rescheduled to take place in 2027 with Year 9 and Year 10 students.

LifeChanger is an organisation funded through the Cotton On Foundation, who work with young people to deliver preventative mental health programmes aimed at building social, emotional and resilience skills for life. Many of our students are familiar with LifeChanger, as several of our contributing primary and intermediate schools have their programmes running.

At Green Bay High School, each Year 9 and Year 10 class will attend 3 one-hour sessions. They will work alongside one of the LifeChanger facilitators, their classroom teacher and two or three of our Year 12 mentors who completed the LifeChanger leadership and mentoring programme earlier this year.

• Overcoming Barriers - Exploring some of the barriers that may hinder personal growth and discussing underlying causes of comparing themselves to others, while learning strategies to help shift this mindset. Students will also explore the importance of building positive connections and learn how resilience is a crucial component to enhancing their self-esteem.
• The Power of Words - Understanding the impact that words can have on both themselves and others. Learning effective strategies to cope with rumours and gossip. Recognising and practicing the benefits of encouragement while fostering a culture of positivity and support to strengthen self-worth.
• Values and Integrity - Identifying core values and the importance of integrity to strengthen self-esteem. Students will learn practical strategies to make decisions that align with their values, while understanding how these decisions can impact their wellbeing.
