Shine's co-ordinator Anne met with some lovely Bournemouth University Journalism Students who have been busy putting together an interactive documentary about the pressures teenage girls face today.

Are we beautiful just the way we are?

Watch on channel 4 catch up a great drama about cyber bullying. We at Shine loved it!

Too much chocolate?

Sometimes we have to choose to get out and get active. Liz finds out the benefits of physical activity as she puts into practise the Shine challenge of ensuring we do at least one hour of physical activity per day.

Hoping all our Shine girls are remembering to complete their challenge this week

This year why not try practising mindfulness? It helps reduce stress and anxiety and is especially helpful in the run up to exams. Smiling Mind is a free app that we use on the Shine course and has been a great success

May we be the first to wish you all a very happy New Year. Shine is really excited to be working in some of our regular schools and cannot wait for our 5 courses to start up in January!

Shine would like to thank the wonderful schools that we have worked with this term for giving us the opportunity to spend time with their students. For their tireless energy and obvious love for their students we salute you!

Happy Christmas to all our beautiful Shine girls present and past and to our many supporters.
