POSITIVE IMPACT PACKAGE
HELPING YOUR STUDENT LEADERS 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 Secondary schools is a transformative, flexible package for schools who want an AUTHENTIC, RELEVANT, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE for their students.
This package has been designed to help your student leaders 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 to contribute and serve the school community through their leadership role;
Improve collaboration, teamwork skills, respect, listening skills and empathy.
If your student leaders work in groups / ministries / portfolios / committees with certain responsibilities (eg environment, sport, culture, community, house spirit, faith leadership), the POSITIVE IMPACT package will give them the scaffolding and support to make their project a success. Some examples of these student-led projects that UPP have supported in the past include setting up a buddy program to foster connection, designing and painting a mural of school values on a wall, creating a sustainable garden somewhere in the school, creating a new code of conduct for students, creating safe spaces or chill out rooms for students, designing a new school map for visitors and new students, running a special fundraising, sporting or cultural event. The online component consists of 10 short modules (30-60 minutes each), that teachers are able to lead with their students at times that are suitable for their school.
THE 10 MODULES INCLUDED ARE:
MODULE 1 - HAVING A POSITIVE IMPACT
MODULE 2 - EVERYDAY LEADERSHIP
MODULE 3 - LEADERSHIP IS INFLUENCE
MODULE 4 - DIFFERENT LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS
MODULE 5 - THINKING GLOBALLY, ACTING LOCALLY
MODULE 6 - CASTING THE VISION
MODULE 7 - IDEA TO ACTION
MODULE 8 - PITCH PERFECT
MODULE 9 - ACTIVITY VS. LEGACY
MODULE 10 - REFLECTION AND CELEBRATION
““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.””
““UPP are highly professional in their approach, facilitating a leadership day with our College that both reinforced the work we had already undertaken with the students as part of our leadership process while introducing complementary information to enhance their understanding of student leadership. They did this using theory and practical activities which engaged and inspired the students to make an impact as College leaders in their senior year.””
““It has been a pleasure working with UPP over the past four years with the City Cluster Student Leadership program. This program supports student 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.””
““An outstanding experience of leadership, through connection, activity, conversation, engagement and influence.” ”

““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.””
““The Aspire Higher Incursion is exactly what we wanted for our Year 6 students and the delivery and content of the program was outstanding and exceeded any of our expectations here at Orange Grove. It has certainly set the year up for us at Orange Grove and we thank you for all the hard work. Our kids were hanging off every word. The team were so approachable, warm and friendly with both students and staff.” ”
