“I love this kit as it opens the door for so much. The students are able to identify issues that relate to them and their community. It gets them to think of others right from the get go and it hepls them collobarate as a team to organise a day that is benefeficial for all. Having the supporting material is great and we used CANVA to document our own learning journeys, roles of the team and responsibilities of individuals including timelines. Having the role badges were great as a sense of responsibility was given to each student. The wristband that were in previous kits would have been great for the students rather than the tshirt. Downloadable digital templates would have been helpful for the students to collaborate and add to their presentations. EG project cards, the jknockout ladder”

“The kit was really well-resourced. Our committe was not big enough to work through a volunteer project in the term we received it. Instructions of what was inside the box and the order to use them would have been helpful We will look to use the Student -self assessment of skills in 2024 when we decide on a project. At the moment it could be a 'FoodBank Drive" The 'Choose your Project Sheet' is clear and easy to see working. Our issue is school Safety Management Procedures. When we think big, and present to our Leadership team, we have been rejected. We are hoping to get two SVA Ambassadors this term so we can talk them through the resource to lead a project.”
