Promoting the social development of young people

We develop and deliver a wide range of programs that promote the social development of young people as individuals, as responsible family and community members, and as citizens.

Program Types

STUDENTS P-12

At The Workshop we run a range of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs for students of all ages based on current research and the Victorian Department of Education and Training Curriculum guidelines and resources.

Students are rarely sitting for long when we teach as all our programs include games, activities, team challenges, media and more. We know the best way to engage a class is to have some fun!

PRINCIPAL CLASS & TEACHER P/L

The Workshop has been providing Professional Learning to educators for over a decade. We can do a quick session as part of your staff meeting, run half or all-day training on pupil-free days or deliver a session of any length (either in person or online) for networks and/or conferences. We regularly work with school staff on Student Voice, managing anxious students, classroom behaviour management, teacher self-care and more!

We also have a range of community-based agencies we partner with to create innovative and engaging programs including physical and arts-based activities.

What participants say..

Tim Campbell - Deputy Principal St. Augustine’s College

I have had the pleasure of working with The Workshop at a number of student leadership programs. Their positivity, enthusiasm and experience with working with student leaders is always a highlight for the students (and staff). They have an uncanny ability to motivate and inspire all students so that they may achieve beyond their potential.

Kate (from The Workshop) is a terrific presenter. Her energy and enthusiasm is so contagious!
Tony Justice - Coordinator Youth Services, Knox City Council

Knox Youth Services has worked closely with The Workshop over many years. From workshops and consultations with young people to parent information sessions. Kate (Director) can put her hand to any work with young people and families. From developing meaningful engagements to adapting on the run, no challenge is too confronting. Value for money you will struggle to find better.

They (The Workshop) had the ability to get us thinking about inclusivity and the impact of leading ALL people is great. I have definitely learnt a lot. It was sooooo much fun. It has inspired me to be a leader of NOW, not just the future.
Sacred Heart Primary School - Diamond Creek

The perfect combination of fun, learning and engagement with self and others. These sessions have lifted the spirits of some pretty fed up students!!”
Adrienne Tanner - Assistant Principal

Kate and Bree worked with a group of 15 Year 9 students. They were a diverse group of students coming with varied strengths and challenges. The purpose of the group was to identify the enablers and barriers to school attendance using an action research approach.
Within a few weeks Kate and Bree had developed strong relationships with the students and built a cohesive team. There was significant growth in many of the students which was observable in the classroom.
