GRADE 5-9 | TAKE THE TIME DAY
The Take the Time day is the most powerful of the student days. This age group is a very difficult demographic to mobilize because the code of silence is so very strong. The full day is a combination of assembly-style presentations, small group activities, games and larger group discussions. Through the carefully designed progression of activities, students will be better able to understand the damage that bullying, cliques, peer pressure, racism, and oppression can cause in individuals and communities. As well, because the goal of the Dare to Care program is to mobilize the silent majority of students into action, the Take the Time Day provides several forums for students to talk about their fears and why they remain silent in bullying situations.
Throughout the student day, participants will discover that there is strength in numbers and that they truly do have the power to make significant changes in their school climate. Through the process of the Take the Time Day, students, teachers, and parents will be shown how to shift the imbalance of power to create the school of their dreams.
Full Day Take the Time day can be modified upon request.
GRADE 10 -11 | STUDENT DAY
High School is a challenging time for today’s students as they are arguably experiencing more pressures and distractions than ever before. From academic and social pressures to an increase in responsibilities, post-secondary competition and preparation, and the uncertainty about the future, our students are struggling and the statistics on youth mental health support this.
At Dare to Care we believe that all students should feel safe, valued, and equipped to deal with the many stressors that surround them. We are excited to announce our new Grade 10 and 11 workshops which are designed to fit into a single period/block to complement curriculum or to be used as stand-alone assemblies for well-ness days, special events, etc.,
