| Resilience and Young People | | The Guest Speaker presenting at the Parent Information session is Hugh van Cuylenburg.
Hugh has been working in education for over 10 years. The highlight of his teaching career, however, was the year he spent in the far north of India volunteering and living at an underprivileged school in the Himalayas. It was here that he discovered resilience in its purest form. Inspired by this experience (and subesquent trips to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) Hugh returned to Melbourne and commenced working on his own programs for schools. 'The Resilience Project' was born.
Hugh's presentation on the night will emphasise the value of gratitude, empathy, kindness, positivity, optimism and mindfulness. It wall also provide parents with practical ideas of how to raise happy and resilient young people.
A resilience program has been offered to selected Year 8 & 9 students from Knox secondary schools, which is to be facilitated by Hugh on Monday 3 June, 2013 at Knox .
A downloadable flyer (Bounce Parent Flyer) can be found at the bottom left of the page.
