The Intermediate programme shares the message that 'before you are a leader, it is about growing yourself and when you become a leader it is about growing others’. Our programme aims to help students enhance their character, to connect with their peers and to become encouraging leaders both in and outside of school. The programme encourages inclusivity, teamwork and recreation while teaching life skills that enable students to take on life and to be better equipped to make positive choices.
Life skills components include: identifying gifts/talents, self-worth, building confidence and resilience, supporting others, setting goals, identity – who I am, values, effective communication, and an introduction to leadership and different styles.
An investment into early years is critical if students are to get the very best start in life and ultimately reach their full potential in later years. This is why we deliver the Intermediate programmes.
I have learnt that being a leader isn’t a position, it’s an action. The best thing about participating in this programme is having a better connection with others and making me more confident. Intermediate young person
Ignite has changed me by helping me give everything a go and don’t hold back and to go out of your comfort zone and by helping us with our confidence and leadership roles. They also make everyone feel happy and comfortable. Intermediate young person
The collaboration with Ignite has been transformative for our school. Their expertise
and dedication have not only supported our students' growth but have also
strengthened our school's capacity to nurture and develop future leaders and provide
meaningful support to those most in need. We wholeheartedly endorse Ignite and their initiatives, confident that their continued involvement will bring further benefits to our school community. Avalon Intermediate Deputy Principal
