Assembly: Purpose - How Do I Find Mine?

Please be aware this resource was last updated in 2018

A values-based resource on PURPOSE.

Inspired by the film UP!

Initially i thought this would most appropriate for younger students but I’ve found the older ones enjoy it too and remember it for a long time.

STRUCTURE:

• starts with an introduction to Mr Fredericksen and a clip from the film (click on the image to access). The clip shows Mr F and his wife and their combined purpose in varying stages of their life together. Then, all of a sudden, he is alone. (tissues at the ready!)
• then there is a look at finding our own purpose in life and emphasises our differences make our own journey unique
• there are tips to finding our own purpose and next steps
• at the end we listen to UNWRITTEN by Natasha Beddingfield - great song and fits the bill perfectly. (click on the image to access)

When I deliver this, whether in a pastoral, self-esteem, mental health session or Assembly, i always give each person a quote from the song, which is why the last slide is there. I print it and slice it into a pocket-sized piece of everyone.

I LOVE delivering this! Gives a boost every time.
