Todholm Primary school

At the end of the course, Rachel Robinson, Senior Wellbeing Worker, who is trained in Get Set for MsMissMrs, asked the girls to reflect on what they had learned and what their biggest takeaways had been. Their responses were thoughtful, honest and incredibly powerful.

Some shared, “I learned that my needs matter,” while others said, “I learned that I have good qualities,” and “I learned it is OK to say no.” They spoke about understanding their own needs, recognising the importance of positive relationships, looking after their physical and emotional wellbeing, and learning to be true to themselves.

Other key messages included the importance of setting boundaries, keeping themselves safe, respecting their own bodies and privacy, and recognising that negative thoughts are not always helpful. One girl summed up an important part of the course by sharing, “To have boundaries, to keep yourself safe and have confidence.”

Throughout the weeks, Rachel saw the girls’ confidence grow. They became increasingly comfortable taking part in discussions, sharing their feelings and engaging in conversations about topics that can sometimes feel difficult or challenging. It was wonderful to see them supporting one another, contributing their ideas and developing a stronger understanding of themselves and their needs.

When Rachel checked in with parents and carers, they were all delighted with the outcomes. Every girl attended the course through to the end, reflecting the positive engagement and commitment shown throughout.

Huge Thank you to Rachel and the girls for sharing their positive journey with Get S.E.T
