Here’s a sample of just one (of MANY!) included examples (use these examples as prompts for your own):

Ability to assist with general health and well-being of students.

Situation: As an Education Assistant at Example Primary School, Task: I volunteered to help out with the Breakfast Club a few mornings per week. Action: I helped to set up and pack down before and after the students arrived, to ensure students were able to access the meals at the Club. Result: As a result, students who had previously been coming to school hungry were now well-fed and focused and ready to learn. This was extremely successful, with noticeable improvements in student behaviour, engagement and academic performance. I was thanked for my involvement at an assembly.
