Goodness 2 Greatness
Goodness2Greatness Initiative
Last year, we were lucky to partner with Goodness to Greatness in order to benefit the physical and mental wellbeing of our children. Read below about what we got up to!
At G2G we believe everyone has a talent, something they can achieve at.
Sometimes it’s physical, like being just tall or fast enough to beat the competition.
Sometimes it’s mental, like the ability to solve problems that would stop other people in their tracks.
Sometimes it’s sheer determination and the will to succeed!
At G2G we specialise in helping every child to make the most of their talents, whatever they are.
The Vision:
In Sept 19, the school wanted to develop some work on Mental Health and look at Personal Development in a holistic sense. Having looked at the various materials available, we were disappointed with what was available.
The Outcome:
Through discussions with James Wade Coaching a new and ground-breaking initiative was born, the ‘Goodness 2 Greatness’ programme.
A comprehensive programme of on-going home/school activities and events for key skills age groups.
At its core is a specially written online platform, interspersed with themed days and enrichment visits by health professionals to engage and inform children and families.
Key elements of the programme involve:
– Nutrition
– Hydration
– Sleep
– Screen Time
– Body Image
– Physical Activity
– Mental Wellbeing
Delivered via a personal parent/child online account and direct “in-school” contact and include a range of fun, practical and inspirational activities to empower children to want to eat better, spend less time on their screens and make the most of the great outdoors. All whilst developing a positive growth mindset.
