Master Paul Stories

Once you run an incredible lesson you have now placed a child in a state of listening and learning. While they are attentive, I have provided 10 stories, one with each lesson plan, that will resonate with the children and encourage them to help their fellow classmates with sport, study and friendship.

Anti-Bullying Pledge

I will send you a pledge (Word Format) so that it can be tailored for each school and can be signed by all students involved in the program. The key points encourage the students to: help one another, including one another, not to bully, tell an adult and support someone who has been bullied.

Message

This system of learning provided above will build people not fighters. It will also assist in building an environment where children enjoy coming to school, build lasting friendships and develop the confidence to be successful in all areas of life

The overall message, delivered throughout the program, is to teach our future leaders that there is no greater gift in the world than to support someone, watch them overcome their fears and give them the gift of confidence, a gift for life.

Always remember Master Paul is only a phone call away if you need to talk.
