Goal Mapping In Peterborough

I was delighted to work with the year 12/13 students of St John Fisher Catholic High School.  As a whole the students behaviour was excellent and they were all extremely respectful throughout.

The session began with a recap of Exam Busters which these students attended last year and they were delighted to have the ability to recall the facts that they hadn’t seen for around twelve months.  They then moved onto Goal Mapping, a powerful session to design their own destinies and they worked really hard to understand the concept of the power of their minds and that their destinies are in their own hands.

All students completed their Goal Maps at the end and I was extremely grateful for the positive comments received both at the end of the session and on my way out of the school.  I look forward to working with you all again in the future.

    New Exam Busters Programme Tried & Tested.

    Thank you to all staff and students at McAuley Catholic High School for such a wonderful day on 15th September. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, every single member of staff really ensured I was well looked after.

    The students were excellent in both sessions. Both sets also showed me the utmost respect throughout the day and participated, engaged and handled themselves in an extremely mature fashion. I was really heartened to receive such positive feedback from so many both on the feedback forms and in person as the students were leaving each session.

    This was the first time that I have introduced some new techniques as part of the Exam Busters programmes and I am looking forward to seeing how they impact over the year. I look forward to returning in the future, thank you for a great day.
