School Presentations

Many young people leave school defined by their ATAR score whilst feeling confused about their identity and overwhelmed by the choices and decisions before them. Today’s youth feel disenfranchised from ‘old school’ models. They have all of the big picture dreams and little of the fine detail how.
Beyond Blue (2013) statistically presents that 91% of kids aged between 11-17 experience identity based anxieties whilst in school. A raft of statistics paint a bleak picture of our youth from the effects poor body image, depression, steroid abuse to excessive alcohol consumption
Glenn Manton believes that in order to the ‘combat the stats’ you have to start with knowledge of self.
Glenn understands what it feels like to be disenfranchised. He knows how it feels to have talent and ability and yet push against the tide to achieve success by anyone else’s terms. He has seen what happens with kids who ‘get lost’ having almost lost himself along the way. Glenn has developed two foundation programs that he uses to great affect in primary and secondary locations.

Students are challenged to step out of their comfort zones and Glenn’s presentation creates discussion for days and weeks to come and is considered one of the highlights of the year for our students”
