In-Person Programs

Engage your students with collaborative challenges, relevant personal stories from our facilitators, and a seamless interactive experience with our In-Person programs. Our team of facilitators travel to primary schools across Australia and New Zealand delivering full-day programs that explore the concepts of Leadership and Wellbeing.

Year 8. Friends, Passion & Integrity

It’s In Our DNA is designed for Year 7-9 students as they continue to explore their identity, develop meaningful friendships, and embrace their unique strengths. This stage of high school is a time of self-discovery, and the program helps students strengthen their sense of self while learning how to build strong, positive connections with those around them.

Through engaging team-building activities, open discussions, and practical strategies, students explore the importance of building healthy relationships, resolving conflicts, and putting others first. The program empowers students to manage interpersonal challenges with resilience and integrity, and to approach school life with a positive, solution-focused mindset. Students also explore how to unlock their passions, set meaningful goals, and stay motivated through personal reflection.

By the end of the program, students will have developed a deeper understanding of their personal identity, their passions, and how they can contribute to a positive school community. They will walk away with practical tools to build supportive friendships, navigate challenges with confidence, and set goals that align with their personal values and aspirations.

What Other Schools Have To Say

The warm and positive demeanour of the facilitators. They instantly engaged the girls and kept their attention for the whole day. Great energy! The mix of whole group, pair and individual tasks was great. Movement breaks and songs also great ways of enhancing levels of engagement and enjoyment.

Burn Bright were the most professional facilitators we had ever seen. We can’t wait to continue our relationship with them and book more programs.

Fantastic. I have always looked forward to their delivery and I know the students will always take home valuable information and skills. The facilitators worked with me on some content that needed delivery and they were flexible and more than willing to accommodate my requests. Thank you.

Pittwater High School, NSW

We have had a very positive response from the students who attended and even greater, that the response was from both those considering a leadership position and those not. The staff presenting this year were particularly great with awesome energy and the students connected well with them!

Wonderful content and facilitators were friendly and engaging. The activities were interactive and promoted healthy discussion with the students.

Excellent – will be recommending to peers outside the school.

Your team did a fabulous job. Feedback from students and teachers alike was that it was an enormous success and they took away many tips and ideas to improve their mental health and of those around them.

Positive Minds, NSW

The student leadership team thoroughly enjoyed the program. It was actually the first time that the SRC, Senior and Junior Prefects were able to work together and be involved in the program together. As always, it’s great to see the facilitators they are professional, engaging, and delivered a good selection of activities that helped build the students’ leadership and collaborative skills.

Fabulous. This is the first time I have experienced it and I found if a valuable experience for the students. The varied nature of the activities was excellent. It was inclusive and supportive as well as challenging some of those kids who find it hard to step outside their comfort zone.

It brings so much to the surface for the students and really encourages them to think about themselves and their connections.

The activities employed and the rationale behind them, rapport with the students, ability to engage the students in the activities, the mixture of “theory” and “practice”.
