Adolescence PSHE L16: You Have a Voice

In this final KS4 PSHE lesson of the Adolescence unit, students are invited to reflect on the power of their own voices and the impact they can make. Titled You Have a Voice — Use It, this session is designed to empower students to speak up about issues that matter, using their creative projects as a platform for expression.

Students will explore what it means to use their voice — through art, writing, film, performance, or advocacy — and connect their project work to the wider social themes explored throughout the series. A large portion of this lesson is dedicated to completing final projects ahead of the exhibition or submission deadline.

This closing session provides space for self-expression, critical reflection, and celebration of growth, helping students leave the Adolescence unit with confidence, empathy, and purpose.
