The kits will be sent directly to the registered student’s school with materials and safety equipment to complete the activities using instructions and tutorial videos.
That’s not all! GETT registrants will also connect as a community via an exclusive online GETT Padlet giving them access to helpful resources such as: Partner & Career information, Goal Setting activities, The 7 Dimensions of Wellbeing and chances to win prizes!
