Girls Wonder Club
A values-led wellbeing and connection programme for girls (11–16)
Wonder Club is a weekly programme supporting girls' emotional wellbeing through connection, self-understanding, and healthy relationships.
It offers a calm, supportive space for self-discovery, building resilience and emotional confidence for both personal growth and school life.
Why Choose Our Girls Wonder Club?
Many girls experience challenges impacting their emotional wellbeing at school, including:
- Social pressure and friendship challenges
- Low self-belief or self-criticism
- Emotional overwhelm or uncertainty
- Difficulty expressing feelings safely
- A sense of disconnection
Wonder Club offers a preventative, strengths-based space, built on connection and kindness, that utilises creative expression and engaging activities to build emotional skills and resilience. It supports girls to develop healthy coping strategies and strong peer relationships before difficulties escalate.
Programme Focus
Our Girls Wonder Club focuses on five key areas for girls' emotional development and wellbeing:
Resilience
Understand emotions, manage challenges, and
recover from setbacks.
Friendships
Healthy relationships, boundaries, belonging, and
communication.
Self-Understanding
Reflection, identity exploration, and self-awareness.
Kindness
Compassion for self and others; reducing comparison and self-criticism.
Connection
Building safe peer relationships, self-connection, and a sense of belonging.
Inclusion
Everyone deserves to feel they belong. In Wonder Club, we celebrate difference, listen with kindness and create space for each young person to feel valued and included.
