On Monday, CHEXS gave support to Goffs Academy Secondary School with their three day Transition Programme. Designed to help Year 6 students make a smooth and positive transition to secondary school in September, the programme featured engaging sessions. Session Highlights 1. Energetic Team Building Games o Purpose: To spark new friendships and build a sense of camaraderie. o Activities: High-energy team games that encouraged students to work together, communicate, and have fun. 2. Dream Catcher Making o Purpose: To inspire students to share their dreams and aspirations. o Activities: Crafting beautiful dream catchers while having meaningful conversations about their goals for the future. These sessions not only brought smiles and excitement but also helped address students' anxieties, making them feel more confident and enthusiastic about starting secondary school. Feedback Staff Quote: "Thank you for your support today." Young Person Quotes: • "I enjoyed today and made a new friend." • "I was very anxious to come today as no one from my primary was coming. Today has helped me to feel less anxious for September." #charity #support #selfesteem #confidence #teamwork #leevalley #chexs #community #broxbourne #Hertfordshire #HenrySmith #schooltransitionsupport

“Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future: Living by ‘Res Non Verba’ at FSU” “Res Non Verba”—Deeds, Not Words. This guiding principle from Fayetteville State University (FSU) has been a cornerstone for me since my time as a student, class of 1993. Supporting my alma mater is not just about honoring my roots; it’s about actively investing in our shared future. Whether it’s through mentorship, involvement, or giving back, it’s our actions that truly make a difference. Supporting your alma mater is more than just a donation, it’s about giving back to the institution that shaped your journey. Whether it’s mentoring students, participating in alumni events, or contributing resources, every effort helps build a stronger community and a next generation. It’s a way to honor the legacy that continues to shape future generations, ensuring that the value of our education continues to grow. Let’s uplift the places that laid our foundations and continue to pave the way for others. Let’s be about our educational business while ensuring that our deeds make a lasting impact. #FSUAlumni #ResNonVerba #BroncoPride #GiveBack #Education #GenerationalWealth #Legacy #HBCU #CollegeLife #Donate #AlmaMater #Universities #MasterMinds #Educators #Supporters #GoodDeeds #FayettevilleNC

I am so looking forward to Yes Futures's Coaching 3 session with my students from the Weald Community School. For a start: 💥 Finding out how they are and what it was that they achieved during the Into the Wild trip. This time for reflection helps them grow their self awareness... ➡️ Did they push themselves out of their comfort zone? ➡️ What talent did they improve the most during the activities? ➡️ Was it their communication skills? ➡️ Or did they demonstrate resilience? Whatever it is, we will celebrate it and that will grow their confidence! 🎉 Then: ✔ Reviewing the goals they set in the previous session. Then: ✔ Honing onto their future plans by brainstorming what they need to do to get there, who they need help from, what talent will be the most useful etc... And then: 💪 Setting a goal for our next session! I just can't wait to! #coaching #students #charity #volunteering  #resilience #selfawareness #communicationskills #confidence #settinggoals #celebrate
