Girlwise
Senior Primary Curriculum
Our young girls are at a crucial stage during their Upper Primary years as they enter early adolescence. Many of the issues that were once delayed until early teen years, are now a strong influence in these late primary years. Issues concerning peer groups, friendship conflicts, body image and self esteem concerns and social media are at the forefront as girls navigate who they are and their place in their tribe.
In response to this trend, Sharon Witt has written a ten week program that can be delivered to a group of young girls in a school setting or similar space.
A 10 Week Program for early Adolescent Girls ages 10-12 years
“I just wanted to share how much fun I’m having facilitating the Girlwise Program with my students this term! The girls are LOVING IT and opening up to share some wonderful things.
One girl has not been coming to school, and the only day she comes in is when Girlwise is on!
I have 2 groups running with 6-8 girls each at one school and I’ll be commencing more groups at the other school I work in next term.
We are planning on having a Sunday afternoon ‘wrap up’ session and inviting parents and carers to come for dinner.
Thank you for creating such an incredible program for our girls!”

“The Girlwise Program focuses on social and emotional well-being giving our school girls an opportunity to extend their current skills and learn practical ways to combat issues of self-esteem, managing their feelings, undoing unhelpful thinking patterns, negotiating friendships, understanding their own strengths and talents while simultaneously building a sense of belonging and care for one another as we celebrate that they are loved and valuable. Seeing the improvement this 10 week Girlwise Program can make on a child’s outlook and watching them thrive as they learn to be the very best version of themselves is just incredible”
