Who Took My Spoon?
Recommended for First Year High School
'Who Took My Spoon?' introduces first year high school students to the concept of taking responsibility of their own actions, choices and direction. This program allows students to examine their own behaviours and attitudes and how they are personally accountable for the results they achieve. Students will recognise that they no longer need to be spoon-fed. It will help students to overcome relationship difficulties, challenges and insecurities. It empowers them to negotiate their own set of rules and guidelines as a team to maximise the personalities and strengths of the group. If you ever wished you could stop ‘spoon feeding’ your students the obvious, then this program is for you!
