ABSTRACT

I began using Circle Time in registration with year 7 groups. I ran six 20-minute sessions and included themes of friendship, cooperation, the community, feelings and selfawareness. Even in these short sessions the tutors and myself have noticed an increase in self-confidence of some students ... It is intended that tutors will continue to use Circle Time with their tutor groups throughout their school lives, thus providing them with a forum for problem-solving and building self-confidence.
