Junior Heroes Training
About Junior Heroes Journey
Year 5 and/or Year 6 become positive role models in school and heroes training helps them discover the skills they will need to help make a difference to themselves and other people. We initially look at influencing factors and what attributes they will need to become successful. They will gain confidence in speaking in small groups, 1:1 etc.
