“My class has really enjoyed this kit. They are super proud of their Self booklets and have shared these with their parents and caregivers. Using the charging station since we have returned from lockdown has been so valuable. Students are more aware of how they are feeling and recognising their strengths. The class have asked if they can continue to use the charging station as the year progresses. Thank you, School Kit and Dove, this kit could not have come at a better time.”

“This kit was good, however it admittedly got pushed to the back burner after covid came along. We were able to get through some of the work and the students enjoyed getting out and about in the nature when the weather allowed. It was very hands on and We enjoyed how varied the learning opportunities were. I will continue working on the kit and a lot of what I have done with my class will be useful for future years as well.”
