Grade 8: Leadership Development Programme 2010

Inventure SA has been assisting us in setting up an exciting leadership programme which starts in the Grade 8 year and is “stepped-up” annually, building on previous learning, in a carefully planned developmental framework. This programme aims to empower all our girls with the skills and confidence to take on leadership roles within the school.

The one-day workshop for Grade 8 (Me – Identity and Survival) is designed to include a focus on both personal, team and general leadership development through a series of dynamic indoor and outdoor activities, incorporating both theoretical and practical/ experiential activities. These processes have been designed to provide maximum learning through personal introspection, group work and participation using challenging games and activities. They are also great fun and serve the added benefit of being an excellent Grade team builder and unifier!

As the school is covering the cost of each and every learner, all girls are expected to attend for the full duration of the workshop. We trust that parents will support us in this programme and share our enthusiasm and excitement at what it has the potential to achieve. Our aim is to impact every girl, equipping her with confidence, the courage to lead, and skills that she can take with her when she leaves Rustenburg.
