    we     school!

    ROAR Inc. runs school programs, offered through two delivery models:  School Intervention Program and Single-Module Incursions.

    ​

    School Intervention Programs

    ​

    This is our flagship, in-depth model. We work with a targeted group of 20 students over an 8-week period, running one session per week. Each session runs for approximately an hour and combines a running or strength training component (through which students earn a physical wrist band) with a high-performance mindset workshop.

    ​

    The goal for participants is to reach "Super Human" status by week eight, achieved by earning four physical wrist bands and completing 25 Acts of Kindness. These physical goals are deliberately calibrated so that most young people can achieve them within eight weeks, regardless of athletic ability. Participants track their progress in diaries, recording a maximum of two Acts of Kindness per day — a limit designed to encourage the daily habit of journal-writing and self-reflection, rather than a rush to the finish line.

    ​

    Every session is run by a mindset/head coach and an assistant coach, with guest coaches brought in occasionally. An inclusivity coach, specialised in working with neuro-diversity, is also available where needed. All coaches have sporting backgrounds and a genuine passion for working with young people.

    ​

    The 20 participating students are selected either by the school directly, or using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale — a self-esteem measure widely used in social science research, scored from 0–30, where a score below 15 may indicate problematic low self-esteem. Pre- and post-program evaluations using this scale have shown 100% increases in whole-group self-esteem results across every program evaluated to date.

    ​

    Single-Module Incursions

    ​

    For schools wanting a lighter-touch or more flexible option, ROAR Inc. also delivers single-module incursions: standalone sessions drawn from the same high-performance mindset curriculum used in the 8-week program, without the extended time commitment. These sessions can be booked individually to target a specific theme — such as emotional regulation or leadership — making them well suited to schools that want to sample ROAR's approach, run a one-off wellbeing day, or supplement other programs already in place. As with the full program, sessions are led by ROAR's experienced coaching team.

    ​

    This work is grounded in research: the correlation between exercise and improved mental health is well established, as is the link between high self-esteem, a sense of community, and overall wellbeing. Both of ROAR's delivery models draw on these connections, tailored to the depth of engagement each school is looking for.​

    ROAR GOES TO SCHOOL

    Many thanks to Jack Kendrick from Mundaring Christian College Media School for this school program snapshot and to the  wonderful staff and students of Swan View SHS and Eastern Hills SHS for allowing us to film.

    These two programs were fully funded by the Shire of Mundaring under the Youth Engagement Partnership Fund

    testimonials

    Hear from the educators

    Our trial in 2023 tracked students who were considered at risk socially and emotionally through ROAR’s 8-week programme and the data (Child Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale) showed that all participants had moved in their self-esteem, confidence and general outlook on their schoolwork. Anecdotally, classroom teachers noted a change in their participating students and feedback from parents indicated the same.
     
    We then worked with our P&C to ensure that we could continue to run it with another group so that the impact would spread further through our school.
     
    Due to these overwhelmingly positive outcomes, the staff at Parkerville collectively decided to use the 2024 Student Wellbeing Boost (federal funding) that was provided to every school to address the wellbeing and mental health of students, on extending the ROAR programme and targeting younger students over a semester.
     
    The focus on physical wellbeing and its impact on mental wellbeing is one of the significant learnings from ROAR that has been obvious to our school. The pride that we have witnessed when students reach a milestone and receive a band is significant. We have seen students that we considered at high risk due to, not only their mental health, but their low physical capabilities, transform their mindset and achieve milestones that were previously not thought possible.
    ​
    The dedication to raising the self-esteem of the children in the Hills is what drives the ROAR programme and Kate, and the mission that they are on is such an important one. I ...am grateful for this programme and the change it has made at our school.
