CONTEXT
Young people today are growing up and inheriting an increasingly complex and competitive world, especially in the areas of learning and technology. Their time and focus is easily consumed and distracted by their devices and as educators we are faced with the challenge of helping young people develop characteristics to enable them to become lifelong learners.

“I just wanted to say cheers for your time at Joeys. I really took it your advice of planning work and just spreading it out. I wasn’t going to write my history speech until 2 weeks, the day before, but today I decided to just write an opening sentence but ended up writing my whole speech. Just shows a little bit of work can get you going and get in the zone as you said.” – St Josephs, Hunter Hill

“I loved your talk today. I don’t know why it was so much more captivating than the countless others, but it was. You’ve been the only person to genuinely make me think about my study habits. I thought about my room when you were talking about minimalism. Its most certainly not minimalist. I collect vintage video game consoles, and they take up 70% of my shelf space in my room. My trading cards are all sprawled over my desk, covering everything. I decided to take your advice and box it all up. Everything not related to study directly is packed away in the garage now.”- St Patricks, Dundas
“Your speech this afternoon was extremely engaging and motivational. I appreciate your passion for encouraging others to discover new ways to learn and helping students to become diligent learners. I believe you are changing the mindsets of many students around the world. I wish you the best on your journey through life and hope you continue to enrich the world with your insightful ideas.” – Toowoomba Grammar
