Develop intrapersonal and interpersonal skills for your students with Rock and Water

Rock and Water is an evidence-based, scientifically proven programme (research conducted across Primary and Secondary environments) used to develop social skills, self-control, self-confidence, emotional awareness, resilience, self-respect and self-realisation for students and adults, using a holistic and active approach. 

Workshop participants regularly include teachers (Primary and Secondary), youth workers, counsellors (school, CAMHS etc) and those focused upon making real change in their community. 

The programme uses games and exercises to develop emotional recognition, regulation and wellbeing through strong physical and emotional awareness (mindfulness and much more!), mental strength (including practical and effective strategies for developing and maintaining positive mental health, reduction of anxiety) and social competency (communication skills, assertiveness, dealing with bullying/violence, acceptance of others etc).

The training is supported by  outstanding resources (all included in the registration)

• a full-colour, hard backed manual containing detailed instructions for all activities
• student reflection journals
• video scenarios linked to lessons
• instructional videos 

The beauty of Rock and Water is the flexibility - you can shape it to meet your unique needs, or simply follow the clear sequential structure in the manual. 

The training is focused on delivering Rock and Water to students from nine years of age. The activities are quickly able to be adapted to younger participants, special needs focused etc.

The goals and values of the programme fit seamlessly within the NZ Curriculum and the new Health and PE curriculum in particular. Build the competencies and aspirations of the new curriculum using the Rock and Water Proigramme.
