LIFT Leadership Program

Recently TYs were given the opportunity to take part in the LIFT Leadership Program, hosted by Ms. Cleary. The aim of the program is to learn valuable skills about becoming a better leader, and to ultimately become a Facilitator of the program.

In order to become a Facilitator, we had to complete three of the topics in our LIFT workbooks. As a group we completed the three aspects: Listening, Positive Attitude and Respect. These are all very important aspects of leadership.

The different topics were completed in the form of roundtables. In groups of four, one person would be the Facilitator for the topic. We would each read a paragraph aloud, highlighting the points or phrases that stood out to us most. We would look at how we could positively change our actions in the next 48 hours, to become better listeners, more positive and more respectful. It was clear by the end of the program, our attitudes had changed in regard to leadership, and we had all grown and learnt a lot.

Those that have completed the program are now certified LIFT Facilitators. We can now administrate LIFT sessions to younger years, and hopefully change our actions and attitudes to become better leaders.

The TYs who are now certified Facilitators are:
