Student Wellbeing Seminars For Gold Coast Schools

We deliver Gold Coast student wellbeing seminars in person, from Coolangatta to Coomera. Glen Gerreyn is based in South East Queensland, so a Gold Coast booking is a local drive, a straightforward date, and no waiting for a national tour to swing through.

A week after Glen spoke at Livingstone Christian College, a Year 9 student sent this: “I’ve taken the character strengths test, I’ve planned out some of my vision board, I’ve signed up for some volleyball training sessions, I’ve been doing small workouts 3 times a week, I’ve completed my homework and I’ve been putting my best effort into my assignments.” The same student had been rehearsing their Drama scenes all week and topped their grade.

That’s the bar for a high school speaker. Students who walk out and do something that week.

At St Hilda’s School in Southport, Glen ran a 3-hour seminar with 140 Year 10 girls and set one invitation: take an action and tell us about it. 24 wrote in of their own accord. One put it like this: “I’ve realised now that purpose and identity aren’t something we just have, it is something we must commit to, to create for ourselves.” Read what they wrote in the St Hilda’s case study.

At Saint Stephens College in Coomera, one Year 10 student went home and organised with their parents to get a vision board the very next day.

Glen has spent more than 25 years doing this in 750 schools across Australia. Plenty of schools first find him by searching for a motivational speaker for students. The label fits, and the proof shows up afterwards in the goals students write and the letters they send.

What Our Gold Coast Student Wellbeing Seminars Bring Into the Room

Hope is a skill. We name it, we teach it, and we give students the tools to practise it: grit, optimism, courage, and resilience. Our seminars are built for Years 7 to 12 and they’re delivered in person, because a screen can’t hold a room of teenagers the way a person in front of them can.

Every seminar is research-based and aligned with the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework, and built to fit the wellbeing program you already run. We don’t replace your work. We give your students and your staff a shared language to keep using long after we’ve packed up and driven home.
