The Siena Counselling Team recently facilitated the Friendship Lab Workshop series for our Year 7 and 8 students, supporting them as they navigate the social changes and experiences that come with adolescence.
A key focus of the workshops was helping students understand the difference between friendship conflict, mean-on-purpose behaviour and bullying, empowering them to respond appropriately and seek support when needed. Students engaged in meaningful discussions around kindness, respect, inclusion and the importance of healthy boundaries, while also learning practical strategies for managing friendship challenges and conflict.
