Girlwise
Middle Primary Curriculum
Our girls are growing up in an age where everything around them seems to be growing at a rapid pace. They are exposed to far more at an earlier age, often experiencing friendship conflict, self-image issues and body image concerns as young as 6 years old.
In a society that is widely influenced by mainstream and social media, girls are often referred to as the children who are ‘getting older younger.’ Many of the issues that seemed to arise in late primary, early secondary years, now often find themselves firmly placed in the early primary classroom – and sometimes earlier.
In response to this trend, secondary educator and author of books for young children as well as adolescents, Sharon Witt has written a 10 week program that can be delivered to a group of young girls in a school setting or similar space.
A 10 Week Program
for Girls ages 8-10 years
“I just wanted to share how much fun I’m having facilitating the Girlwise Program with my students this term! The girls are LOVING IT and opening up to share some wonderful things.
One girl has not been coming to school, and the only day she comes in is when Girlwise is on!
I have 2 groups running with 6-8 girls each at one school and I’ll be commencing more groups at the other school I work in next term.
We are planning on having a Sunday afternoon ‘wrap up’ session and inviting parents and carers to come for dinner.
Thank you for creating such an incredible program for our girls!”

Seeing the improvement this 10 week Girlwise Program can make on a child’s outlook and watching them thrive as they learn to be the very best version of themselves is just incredible”
