Empathy and kindness begin with noticing other people and paying attention to how they might be feeling.
As you prepare for secondary school, there will be moments where people around you feel confident, and moments where they feel unsure. There will be times when you understand how someone is feeling, and times when you do not.
How we respond in those moments can make a real difference to how people experience school.
These are not new skills. You already use empathy and kindness in your everyday life, often without even thinking about it.
In this lesson, there are no right or wrong reactions. This is a space to pause, to think, and to talk honestly about how empathy and kindness show up in real situations.
This workshop is not a test.
It is a chance to reflect on your experiences, share ideas, and begin thinking about how small actions can help others, and yourself, during times of change.
