Overview of the programme 

The programme is divided into sections to reflect the students’ journey through the Junior Cycle. Each lesson is characterised by being learner centred, with an opportunity for reflection at the end. 

Section 1 Transitioning and Learning: Supports students in settling into secondary school by sharing with them simple skills to connect more with what is happening around them.

Section 2 Motivation and Learning: Focuses on the power of motivation, enabling students to recognise their strengths and set goals for success along with sharing with them our highly recommended study and revision system.

Section 3 Resilience and Learning: Develops students’ emotional awareness and resilience to better cope with challenges and stress and establish practical coping strategies.

Study Journal Found at end of the student workbook, this is a results-focused time management tool to increase students’ productivity, effectiveness and application to their studies.
