A YANCHEP teacher plans to launch a free program later this year to help girls make the leap from primary to high school.
Shahid Jefcoate is looking for support from businesses so he and his sister Aisha can run the course aimed at empowering Year 6 girls and preparing them for high school in October.
Mr Jefcoate, who is a physical education teacher at Yanchep Beach Primary School and founder of Nspire Kids, said he was looking for sponsors for the Girls4Life program.

“This fun and practical workshop will deliver inspiring messages about resilience, positive self-belief, controlling emotions, cyber safety and friendship.
“We have also been supported by health coach Mel Atarau and Danielle Earle (Yoga by Danielle), who are local community members wanting to assist who will also be delivering short presentations.
“The girls will come together and will work in small groups on each issue, with the opportunity to create super green smoothies from the local organic produce.
“We will only have capacity for 20 girls for this initial program; however, if interest is high will deliver another one.”
