POSITIVE IMPACT PACKAGE
HELPING YOUR SENIOR PRIMARY STUDENTS MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN 2022
““Unleashing Personal Potential’s Positive Impact Program allowed our aspiring student leaders to develop knowledge and skills to influence their peers and deliver a project for their school community. They worked in teams to identify how they could have a positive impact through their actions and learnt so much through the reflection and evaluation process that is built into program. Practical, fun, challenging and potentially life changing. The presenters connected with our students and gave direction, but our students delivered the impact. Highly recommended for all schools.””
UPP’s Positive Impact package for Primary schools is a transformative, flexible package for primary schools who want an AUTHENTIC, RELEVANT, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE for their students.
This package has been designed to help your senior primary students to:
Lead by example, service and action;
Build healthy relationships with their peers;
Develop a positive school culture;
Make a positive, lasting impact in the school community by implementing a POSITIVE IMPACT PROJECT;
Experience genuine, authentic opportunities for all of your senior students to contribute and serve the school community;
Improve collaboration, teamwork skills, respect, listening skills and empathy;
Focus on contribution and improving the world by thinking globally and acting locally.
““This is not just about the positive impact the UPP team will have on your students, it is about the positive impact your students will have on the world.””
““It has been a pleasure working with UPP over the past four years with the City Cluster Student Leadership program. This program supports Year 6 leaders from 14 different schools to develop and lead an impact project that benefits their entire school community. The workshops are positive, full of energy and offer direction and strategies for effective leadership and project planning. I highly recommend UPP to any school wanting to grow their student leadership culture.””
DETAILS
This package has been mapped against Level 4 of ACARA’s Personal and Social Capability and addresses each of the 4 elements. Through UPP’s Positive Impact package, you will unify your senior students (and teachers) with a common language about leadership, and an agreed understanding of leadership qualities. Furthermore, your students will study the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and align their POSITIVE IMPACT PROJECT with one of these challenging global goals, at the local level.
It involves multiple face to face workshops, delivered by UPP at your school, as well as online support resources in order to support your students in their POSITIVE IMPACT PROJECT throughout the year.
The workshops are run by UPP at your school and delivered directly to the whole cohort of students. The best venue for the face to face workshops is your school hall (or similar), as we use a learning, action, reflection process throughout the sessions. For the greatest impact, we recommend that classroom teachers are present and involved for the duration, as this has many benefits to the students and school moving forward.
Included in the POSITIVE IMPACT PACKAGE:
2 or 3 exceptional UPP workshops for your students, delivered at your school by UPP. The workshops are: ASPIRE HIGHER, ASPIRE 2 and POSITIVE PEER RELATIONSHIPS.
High quality follow-up lesson plans to ensure the messages have a lasting impact. Check out a sample follow-up lesson plan and student workbook here.
A whole year level VIP license to Leading from the Front online package to support your students with the POSITIVE IMPACT PROJECT (including access to videos, checklists, scripts, posters, webinars and a student workbook for each participant). Teachers will have access in order to guide the students through their project.
2 entries for your school into UPP’s IMPACT competition, to be held in September / October each year.
Ongoing phone and email support from one of UPP’s specialist Leadership coaches for the duration of the student project.
Two media releases developed by UPP for your school (for your newsletter or local paper). The first to announce the POSITIVE IMPACT PACKAGE to your parent and wider local community, and another to celebrate the success of your students upon completion of the project.

““It a highlight of the year working with the UPP team. They consistently deliver a highly engaging, tailored program that empowers students to believe they can achieve great things and make positive impacts in their school community.””
““The UPP facilitators win the students over with their passion, enthusiasm and encouragement. Students develop skills through meaningful yet engaging activities in a safe environment. Students walk away motivated and driven to be leaders of change within their school communities. The project gives students the skills to identify a need within their school community and then plan and lead initiatives to respond to this need. Finally they have the opportunity to feedback the learning of their journey and initiative to the other participants. In addition, friendships made throughout the Pilot Project in 2018 were reported to still be strong over a year later, according to various school staff.””

Praise for UPP from students and teachers
“I enjoyed the leadership day with UPP because of the interactive learning experiences. The instructors incorporated humour into their messages. My favourite activity was the epic race. I liked this because it was an engaging activity for all of the Year 6 cohort. Overall, I really enjoyed this learning experience.” – Jasper - Yr 6 Student
“Unleashing Personal Potential (UPP), has really opened my eyes to see what it truly means to be a leader. I’ve learnt that you can lead with or without a badge and that to be a great leader you need to lead by example. I now know that to be a leader I should know my strengths and accept that there are different types of leaders. The UPP team taught us to follow the acronym A.S.P.I.R.E. (Action, Serve, Persist, Influence, Respect and Encourage), and to learn how to be trusted to work well with others, involve others and LISTEN. I believe that our Leadership Day really helped me fully understand what it means to be a leader. “ - Jemimah - Yr 6 Student
“I really enjoyed the activities and how they made everyone co-operate. I think this is a great idea, and I think a lot of kids will benefit from it.” – Noah- Yr 6 Student
