"We believe children can thrive when they acknowledge their capacity to lead change". Dr Andrea Lemon, Kids Thrive Co-Founder & Co-Director.

‘We want to get out the word about Global Warming because we need to save the world in time’ was the pitch message of the Clean Breathing team. ‘It’s not too late to take action that makes a difference.’
In their pitch the team enacted a scene where it was 90 years from now and a grandmother was reading a story of a world that was lost 90 years before by people not taking climate action, whilst they still could.
For their Community Action Jazzy, Cobie and Talia of the Bass Coast Kids as Catalysts team from Newhaven Primary met with their Community Action Partner - local volunteer Jeni Jobe - at the Haven Wave Cafe to be mentored in how to be a voice for climate action by writing a letter to members of parliament to express concern and to seek their commitment to take action.
The team wrote a letter to Prime Minister Scott Morrison requesting action be taken on climate change.
When asked the question ‘What do you want to say to the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison?’ Jazzy replied ‘Look, I want to say “when you go to bed at night can you be thinking about how to make things better?’
The staff at the cafe were more than happy to support the kids and to help them to develop their cafe skills whilst meeting to change the world.

How are you all doing? Some are back at school, some are not.
Some are back on the Kids as Catalysts program and immersing themselves in life changing activities in the community.
Hope you all have a great weekend. We would love to hear how this going back to school business is going for you!

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST - KIDS AS CATALYSTS
Now you can know HOW to activate voice, agency and leadership in children.
Can your children…

gather support to take responsibility to address the issues?
design options and solutions – that include actions to be taken, timelines and budgets?
‘manage up’ to get results for themselves and others?
put themselves in the picture of making the changes needed?
connect their learning with purpose and life meaning?
They will after participating in the Kids as Catalysts program.
Feel free to tag and share. You can enquire here:

How cool is this board showing what the Gender Diversity team have been doing at Northern Bays College in Geelong.
As part of the Kids as Catalysts program, these boys put together care packs for girls with a range of items.
Massive thanks to all funders for helping make this happen.
