programme aimed at enhancing the seJt:.actualisation of learners. The aim of the
programme is to create awareness of one's unique purpose in life. The need for
motivation, commitment and determination must he realised. llolistic thinking is an
important concept throughout the programme, in that it is aimed at unlocking latent
potential through the encouragement of lateral thinking. The awareness of underlying
potential enhances the realisation of each Ieamer's uniqueness and individual
contributions to society, and facilitates awareness of the need to accept responsibility for
