Personal Growth Group

Personal Growth Group (PGG) is a small group experience offered to grade 10-11 learners. The group meets after school hours. The programme offers 11 sessions of 11/2 hours each twice a week. A group of 8-10 learners gather under the guidance of 2 facilitators to discuss issues that affect the learners.

We want to see the lives of young people in the group being impacted positively from the group experience. We hope that there will be a passing on of skills as members continue to relate with their family, friends and communities.

PGG aims:

• To provide a safe context for teenagers to talk about the issues in their lives
• To be a positive role model by:
  • Providing correct information
  • Sharing from own lives when appropriate
  • Modelling positive, non-judgmental listening and feedback
• To challenge members' thinking, attitudes and behaviour on arising issues
• To be a referral base
