COMING SOON….

R.I.S.E school holiday programme: 7 - 12 year olds

Empowering kids to believe in themselves, face challenges with confidence and live emotionally happy lives through a kid-friendly, science-based curriculum.

 

Your child can build confidence and resilience in this fun 5 day programme for kids aged 7 - 12 years. Tamariki can attend from 1 - 5 days. We can accommodate kids from 7:30am - 6pm.

Each day will have a different topic so that those who attend the full 5 days will be stimulated each day.

R.I.S.E stands for Resilience, Inner-Confidence, Self-Esteem and Emotional Intelligence, which are the foundations of what will be taught in this course.

The R.I.S.E programme includes workbooking, role playing, crafts and short videos. We teach using the latest research in positive psychology, brain science and youth development techniques created by Big Life Journal.  As a licenced Big Life Journal educator, emki will help develop strong social-emotional learning and growth mindset skills in a way that’s heaps of fun.

The Science behind it:
You can download the list of books, studies, and research materials that have gone into the creation of the journal and workshop here

Topics covered in the R.I.S.E school holiday programme

    We will help children develop grit, resilience, and perseverance.

    With fun and engaging activities, students will learn how to:

    welcome mistakes as opportunities to grow

    overcome obstacles

    Children will also discover that resilience can be learned like any other skill. It just takes practice and patience.

  • Confidence & Self-Esteem

    We will help children to develop high self-esteem and confidence.

    We teach:

    goal-setting

    problem-solving

    EFT tapping for confidence

    mindfulness

  • Growth Mindset

    We will help children learn how to develop a growth mindset, and overcome a fixed mindset. We will also teach them how to:

    turn their self-deprecating thoughts into positive and empowering ones

    learn from their mistakes

    focus on solutions rather than problems

    practice gratitude

  • Emotional Intellgence

    We teach children how to process their emotions in a constructive way so they can become more attentive, empathetic, and resilient.

    Higher levels of emotional intelligence will help your child:

    make good decisions

    grow into a leader

    boost self-motivation

    manage stress and anxiety

  • Resilience

    Resiliency does not come from avoiding hard things, rather, from learning how to cope and moving through hard times.

    Our lessons help children to work on one of life's greatest skills and build the confidence they need to overcome even the most challenging days.

  • Self-esteem

    People with high self-esteem like themselves and believe that they are capable and worthy. As a result, they make better choices, become more resilient, and push harder to reach their goals. They’re more likely to be happy, successful, and emotionally healthy.

    Our lessons help children to see their worth.

  • Growth Mindset

    Beliefs about our abilities form our mindset — and they impact everything from relationships to academic success. Developing the right kind of mindset means the difference between hiding from life’s challenges and handling them with confidence. Studies show the mindset associated with a full, happy life is called a growth mindset.

    Our lessons help children learn how to develop a growth mindset and be aware of fixed mindsets.

  • Everyday & Notes

    Everyday we will spend time working through the workbooks, but will also stop regularly for breaks, crafts, short videos related to the curriculum, games and role play so your child really enjoys coming to Emki programmes during their school holidays.

    NOTES:

    Emki believes that kids need downtime and time to ‘just be’. We offer stimulating courses but there are times when your tamariki need some ‘me time’ just to take a breather from their hectic life and school schedule which they are now on holidays from. We have set up our rooms AND outdoor areas to accommodate this need. Where there are books, crafts and comfortable seating for kids to just chill out for as long as they need. We also have beautiful, bountiful gardens which they can enjoy.

    Any activities that can be done outside (in the warmer months) we will take the opportunity to move outside under shade.

    Our aim is to make your kids happy, stimulated with fun activities but also relaxed so they ENJOY coming to school holiday programmes with us.
