Impact: Meet Ahle

Ahle Fisa, Grade 10 at Trafalgar High, has participated in SOHK since the beginning of the 2019. Since she joined she reports levels of resilience and personal growth.

Ahle was suspended quite a few times at the beginning of the year for displaying ‘acting out’ behaviour. On one occasion she was stabbed during a fight at the school, and there was also another incident where she was suspended for arguing with a teacher and for fighting with a boy at school.

This year she is repeating Grade 10. Since she joined the SOHKs sessions our Counsellor Kauthar has reported that she has calmed down a lot and is passing all her subjects. She speaks positively and has developed ambition through learning her character strengths. She says she can’t wait to come to the sessions as “it provides opportunities for growth and the coaches always offers words of encouragement."

Summing up the year she stated “I feel like we (SOHK staff) had a certain bond, we learned so much stuff. When I needed someone to talk to, whenever I needed to share something with someone, I knew Coach would be there, and was always there for me.”
