‘Surviving Year 12′ Presentation A Success!

It’s always hard to pitch to adolescents, to know what they want, what they will hear.

When I prepared the ‘Surviving Year 12′ presentation, I thought about what kids these days are experiencing, how they view the world, along with what I went through as a teenager and what would have helped me. I came up with a package that I trialed on Year 12’s at All Saints’ College in January.

Grace Itzstein, the Career Counsellor at All Saints’ College, has just sent me through some feedback from the students. It was reassuring to find out that my talk hit the mark, that the students did get something out of it. On the day, it was hard to tell, and of course it was particularly difficult for me because I can’t see my audience. Even though the feedback from staff was encouraging - “Janet, they were silent, so that means they were listening!” - I still wanted to get an evaluation from the students themselves.

Thanks to all those who let me know that I’m on track with my presentations!
