Student lunchgroup leaders
A number of our lunchtime groups in schools are student-led groups where 2 or 3 students take on the running of a group themselves. They do a wonderful job of arranging a classroom for the group to meet in and facilitating activities and discussions. We would love to encourage and support students doing this and have plenty of teaching resources that are simple to use and don’t require any preparation by the student leaders.
Please get in touch with us if you currently run a student-led group or are interested in starting one in your school: [email protected]
