Students learn how to set meaningful short-, medium- and long-term goals, and how to break these down into clear, manageable steps. Practical planning and prioritisation skills are introduced.
Sessions 5-6 Accountability and Review
Developing personal standards, consistency and accountability. Progress is reviewed, habits are refined, and expectations are reset where needed.

Resilience and Confidence
Supporting students to manage setbacks, pressure and self-doubt. Sessions focus on building confidence through preparation, reflection and constructive self-belief.
Sessions 9-10:
