Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them "I liked being able to help recharge others when they need it". SH. From a parent of a child Good morning Angela I have been meaning to write this for a few days now! I just wanted to thank you for writing such a beautiful letter to Annabelle. What a wonderful way to make our children feel valued and special. I can’t imagine how long it took for you to write heartfelt messages for each child in the class! I love the strengths that you identify in her- It clearly shows she feels safe and nurtured at school to grow into the person she is meant to be. Thank you for doing a fabulous job with our children Warm regards Nicky and Antho

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? Noticing the impact their actions can have on others and how they can help others

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? Increased harmonious relationships. This is the year level which has been most affected by Covid lockdowns and so their socialisation and working with others has still been a focus.

“This kit has been great for enhancing harmonious working relationships within the classroom. It has helped students be more aware of their needs and the needs of others and also how they can affect and contribute to other's happiness and wellbeing. The personalised letters were very powerful. Students loved reading the letters from their special person. I copied off extras and wrote a letter to each child in my class too, so they had 2 special people letters. They were amazed that I had taken the time to write to each of them. We had an open discussion about how their letters made them feel (without revealing the contents of any letters) and the articulation of feelings and the description they used showed great improvement in vocabulary and the way they could describe their feelings. these letters also elicited a great feedback from parents who were complimentary about how well I knew each of their children and how positive the impact had been on their child's sense of self.”

“I used the Dove Kit in a Special Education class. There are 6 boys in my class and I wasn't sure how engaged they would be with the kit, but it was great. There are lots of different parts to the kit which worked well as I was able to adapt to suit the class.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them One student was particularly moved by the letter written for her by a much older brother. Students and families found the Circles of Influence activity a great discussion-starter at home.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? For us the booklets were the most impactful, and the activities and videos about self-awareness and self-image were the big-hitters.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? Students were encouraged to look beyond the outer shell - of themselves and others. They recognised that they were prone to judging themselves and others by how they looked and saw that this was damaging. It worked in well with other learning we were doing in Health around Kindness and Being the Best Me.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence I think it was great for students to be encouraged to look at what makes them interesting and unique and special.

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? It's been a really valuable and engaging piece of learning, which has fitted in perfectly with our health focus in Term 3 around self-image and kindness to selves and others.

“My class (Year 4) loved this kit. They were on the young end of the 'target' audience, but some of the issues raised were really pertinent at their stage of growing self-awareness. The booklets were so thought-provoking, and the letters from a caring adult were special for the students as well as their adults. The Shrink and Boost cards were more complex for my young class and they needed a lot more adult support to access these ideas.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 1. I really liked putting the token in the box each morning so my teacher could come have a chat with me if I was in the red zone. 2. I like the class chats that we had. 3. I didn't like filling in a red card cos I was already in the red zone and didn't want to write.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The cards to lead discussions. And the tokens as some were saying they were in the red as they couldn't find their pencil, so there were many great robust conversations about each zone.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? Not to weigh events down on themselves. Also the large chart now features in our "red zone" area where students read it and take big breaths to get back to yellow and then (fingers crossed) are functioning at green.

“There was a lot to display and I didn't have a massive area. However we worked through different cards daily and the booklets were fantastic. Sadly we didn't get many parents on board and school is the happy place for many of my students.”
