This session is designed to provide a safe and fun environment where young men (generally
years 8-10) can start to question and explore what it means to be a man today in the western culture.

It provides healthy alternative messages and values to what most of them are being
exposed to through media and their peers. We want students to leave understanding how to
investigate questions such as: “Who am I? What influences me? Where am I going in life? What is important to me? What difference will I make?”

Key concepts covered in the session:
• Exploring the qualities of being a man and asking students to think - what should they
be?
• Highlighting the importance of healthy self-worth including setting priorities and
values. Looking at key factors in formation including peers, role models and individual
values
• Defining what a real hero is with the focus on character rather than perception
• Exploring rites of passage for young men and highlighting healthy ways in which we
develop our character
• Developing students to become great leaders that make a difference in their school
and community. Good decision-making enables us to communicate well, work
effectively together and make a difference to others
• Promotion of resilient factors and encouraging students to be a good role model to
others - particularly younger students
