The Glow Course
Helping girls to GLOW in every area of their life
What is it & who’s it for?
Navigating the tween and teen years is like embarking on a wild rollercoaster ride of changes in both body and mind! It's the perfect moment to dive into conversations about confidence, resilience, and the superpower of self-worth.
Our aim is to inspire and motivate every Glow Up Project student to be the very best version of themselves. We do this by helping them to gain overall confidence in who they are, just as they are, to love and value their uniqueness and learn how to practice self-care for the mind and body. The best part? We do it all in a really fun way!
The Glow Course is our signature 6 week personal development program and is suitable for ages 10 – 15yrs. The course is run over 6 weekly 1.5 hour sessions during the school term, where we provide face-to-face learning, hands-on practical activities, group discussions, worksheets and more. We keep our class sizes small to ensure a quality experience for every participant.

Course Outline
I am confident
In this session we learn how body language and posture impact us and those around us by exploring the connection between the mind and body. We also learn how to create positive first impressions.
I am valuable
In this session students learn how to look after their hands and nails by completing their own manicures. We discuss the importance of taking care of our hands and how just like our hands are valuable to our bodies, we too are valuable and worthy.
My brain is amazing
We talk about the ‘chaotic brain’ of adolescence, how our brain’s separate functions grow and work together and what’s going on in our brain when we feel certain emotions. Students will learn practical tools to help regulate their emotions. We explore the power of neuroplasticity through fun, interactive activities. Students will identify their learning style by understanding the most common styles of learning.
Love the skin you are in
Students will learn about what happens to their skin as they transition from childhood through to adulthood and how to take care of their skin from the inside out. In this session students will have the experience of completing their own facials using age-appropriate, gentle skin care products. Students will also make their own natural lip scrub & lip balm to take home.
I am beautiful, just as I am
We explore self-acceptance and identify core values through creative hands-on activities. Students learn how to set boundaries and make decisions that align with their values. Students learn that they are more than their appearance on the outside and that their uniqueness can and should be celebrated.
I am mindful
This session has been designed for students to learn about how to create healthy habits, set goals and create a positive vision for their future. Students will gain practical tools for practising gratitude and mindfulness activities.
