During the course of the day students and teachers have the opportunity to hear 3 inspiring speakers. Key messages include: You can be the change ! It takes ONE to make a difference ! Step outside your comfort zone and try new things ! Be an 'energy giver' not an 'energy taker' ! Students are given tools and strategies to help them face challenges in their own lives as they enter high school, a key point in their development.
