Empower students to discover who they are, by developing an understanding of how their values and attributes shape their identity. 

True North workshops empower young people to discover who they are. Participants reflect upon and share their story, developing an understanding of how their values and attributes shape their identity and future pathways.


Teachers at schools in the North Melbourne and Wyndham areas in Levels 5–12* can engage The Huddle to facilitate workshops for their students across four consecutive weeks.


Please note: due to AFL zoning agreements, your school must be located in the City of Melbourne, Moonee Valley, or Wyndham to be eligible to participate. Schools outside these zones are encouraged to get in touch via email to be the first to hear about future opportunities.


The program comprises two core packages, My True North and Our True North, plus an introductory package for Level 4 students called Team True North.

The True North program was able to give me the confidence to better understand those around me, but more importantly myself. I loved being involved and it was so much fun
