Hovercraft Academy (Respectful Relationships, Health and Wellbeing)

Part 1: WHAT IS MY IDENTITY?
Students receive their Empowerment Journal and are launched into the hovercraft challenge, identifying personal strengths and setting goals aligned to what they want to achieve during the experience.

Part 2: LEADERSHIP & SELF-MANAGEMENT SKILLS
With roles assigned, students practice responsibility, focus and cooperation as they construct the foundation of their hovercraft.

Part 3: MANAGING RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS
As the build continues, students apply respectful communication and teamwork skills, recording reflections in their Empowerment Journal.

Part 4: WHAT IS HEALTH?
As they prepare to test their hovercraft, students explore how everyday choices help keep their bodies and minds safe, healthy and strong.

Part 5: WELLBEING
It’s time to ride. Students lift, race and glide across the hall in their student-crafted hovercraft, feeling the thrill of what’s possible when effort, focus, and teamwork come together.

The day wraps up with shared reflection, celebration and a group photo to mark what students have achieved together.
