Day of Friendship at Upwey High School
Upwey, VIC, Australia
This is a private event
A Day of Friendship presented by URSTRONG includes a variety of fun, interactive workshops where students learn what it means to be a
Friendship Ninja!
Underpinned by our award-winning friendship skills curriculum, Friendology 101, students learn our unique language, skills, and strategies that are central to our whole-school friendship strategy. This includes:
- The 4 Friendship Facts
- The Friend-o-Meter
- Putting out Friendship Fires® using the Friend-o-Cycle
- Mean-on-Purpose moments & Quick Comebacks
Through role-play and common scenarios, students put their friendship skills to the test and apply their learning.
Friendship Tips for Teens (Year 7)
In this workshop, students learn what to expect in their friendships through The 4 Friendship Facts, applying these ‘truths’ in friendship to their real-life. Using the Friend-o-Meter, students reflect on the health of their friendships & Friendship Groups. They learn how to manage conflict (in-person and online), exploring the different approaches for responding to Friendship Fires® versus Mean-on-Purpose behaviour. Students learn how to apply these friendship strategies to other relationships in their lives.
