Shine Today

Call Website

Shine Today Shine is an award winning education program established in Geraldton, Western Australia.

Shine is a values based training model, targeted at ‘at risk’ female youth aged between 11 and 16. These students are in danger of disengaging from the education system and society; negativity impacting their employment and life opportunities into the future. In addition, Shine develops confidence and wellbeing in the young female participants, through a structured program of experiential learning. The program’s hands-on nature assists in developing the participants skill set, in a purpose built hairdressing salon. Through the structured Shine environment, the young women’s life skills and capacity are developed; having a great effect on fundamental skills such as accountability, responsibility, trust, connection and employability. With over 1000 students over the past ten years, there have been dramatic improvements in not only attendance, but interpersonal and social skills, presentation, confidence and academic achievements.

🌸 A heartfelt thank you to Eden from Wild Daisy Photography! 🌸

SHINE would like to extend a very special thank you to Eden for generously donating her time and expertise to capture some beautiful moments with a cohort of our Geraldton SHINE girls. 💗

The results have exceeded all expectations, and the photos are truly stunning! Our girls are so excited to have these special memories to treasure for a lifetime, and we can’t wait to share some of these gorgeous images with you all.

We are incredibly grateful to Eden for her generosity and the beautiful memories she has helped create. If you have an upcoming photography session, we couldn’t recommend Wild Daisy Photography highly enough!

Thank you so very much, Eden! 🌼✨

🐢 SHINE Partner Spotlight! 🐢

Turtle Cove Early Learning Centre have always been a much loved partner of SHINE. Turtle Cove provide our Year 10 students with the opportunity to create, plan and deliver a session to their young people. Under the guidance and supervision of Turtle Cove staff, SHINE students led some very fun craft activities this term, including creating a whole mob of pet rocks 🪨 😍

Thank you Turtle Cove for this very rewarding (and very cute) opportunity. You are a gold star SHINE Partner 🌟

And to our Year 10 girls, you did us all very proud! Well done team 👏 💖

💛 R U OK? Day 💛

This week was a great reminder that asking a mate R U OK? Is a good way to check in, any day at any time.

From group discussions about questions to ask after R U OK?, to 'the stress bucket' exercise, exploring ways to manage stress (slime 😆) and a lovely morning tea at In 3 Minds Psychology Services; the SHINE team have been very active in supporting R U OK? Day! 💛

Remember: A conversation could change a life ✨️

(The cupcakes didn't look all that ok by the time they arrived to school 😆 Luckily they were still yummy!)

🎀 Women's Health Week 2026 🎀

The theme for this year's Women's Health Week is 'Do it anyway', encouraging small, realistic steps toward better health 🌼

Our Shimmer students also celebrated this important week by covering all five key focus areas with a foreshore walk and lighthouse picnic ❤️

The five key focus areas for this year are:
🌟 Nutrition
🌟 Physical activity
🌟 Mental wellbeing
🌟 Social connection
🌟 Rest

We think Zoe, Shana and the Wandina Primary School Shimmer girls nailed it this year!

Great work team 👏 💗

🌟 Welcome to SHINE, Waggrakine! 🌟

We are so excited to welcome the girls of Waggrakine Primary School to SHINE as they take part in our Shimmer Program this semester ✨️

With Waggrakine joining the SHINE family, Shimmer is now being delivered across three primary schools in Geraldton. This is something we are very proud of!

Shimmer is designed to give girls a strong foundation as they prepare for the transition to high school, helping to build confidence and resilience, strengthen relationship skills and develop the tools needed to navigate change and new challenges.

By supporting girls early, Shimmer helps with entering high school confidently and ready to engage, setting the foundation for strong attendance, positive relationships and continued engagement in education 🌟

SHINE works with over 200 girls and young women across the Mid West and we are very excited to welcome these gorgeous happy faces from Waggrakine Primary School into our SHINE community 💖

We are looking forward to watching you grow, connect and shine this semester 💫

Welcome Waggy!! 🎊
