13th March 2024 | 09:30 - 12:00 | face-to-face | 2 hours

Course description

Voicebox for secondary schools is a pupil participation network which encourages Manchester pupils to research, reflect, and engage with the health of their school community.


This year, secondary Voicebox will offer students the opportunity to be mentored by one of the Healthy Schools specialists. Mentees will be supported by their mentor to research, or work to change, health challenges in their school. Students will then present their findings at an end of year conference. Voicebox is well suited to any young person keen to make a difference in their school, who wants to think critically about health and wellbeing, or who is interested in healthcare as a career, The programme is open to all year groups, and will be tailored to their needs.


Session two is designed to build upon an existing health based project at school, if the students have attended session 1. New students are welcome, and will be supported to think of a new project.

MEET YOUR TRAINER

Sophie Collins

Sophie has a decade of experience working in schools, with training in Philosophy for Children, and expertise in informal education. In 2017, they moved to Manchester to start facilitating RSE lessons for a leading youth charity - six years on, and they still love the city and the subject. In that time, they have had the privilege of working with young people across the range of education settings from primaries through to college, in mainstream and SEND provisions, as well as in youth clubs and PRUs. They have delivered extensive RSE and PSHE training and coaching, striving to support educators with their skills, knowledge, and confidence. Sophie has worked in policy development and volunteered as a charity trustee; they’re as passionate about good governance as they are about pedagogy. Between 2020-2022, they completed a Master's in Education & Social Justice, with a focus on PSHE delivery. In June 2023, Sophie joined the Healthy Schools Team as PSHE lead in a maternity cover position and is enjoying putting their knowledge and skills to good use. In their free time, Sophie likes to watch, perform, and spend too much time thinking about, stand-up comedy. This year they hope to get a cat.
