Student Generated After Events

Lunch Buddies
Once a week, students are encouraged to sit with someone they do not know during lunch and learn more about them. This initiative aims to:
• Promote new friendships and understanding among students
• Break down social barriers and reduce instances of bullying
• Create a more inclusive and supportive school environment
• By participating in Lunch Buddies, students have the chance to expand their social circles, share their experiences, and contribute to a culture of empathy and respect. 

Sticky Notes of Kindness
In this program, students place sticky notes with kind words and positive messages on lockers throughout the school. This simple yet powerful act aims to:
• Spread positivity and kindness among students
• Boost morale and create a supportive school atmosphere
• Encourage students to uplift and appreciate one another 

Reflect and Connect Circles
These circles provide a space for students to:
• Reflect on their Challenge Day experiences and insights
• Share their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment
• Strengthen the bonds formed during Challenge Day through continued dialogue 

Every journey starts with a single step
