Dear Parents and Guardians,
We're excited to let you know that Elwood Public School has invited nationally recognized youth speaker Mike Donahue to present the Value Up program to our students on Tuesday, 10 November.
For more than 30 years, Mike has spoken to more than one million students across the United States and around the world. His message isn't about lecturing students or simply telling them to make better choices. Instead, Value Up helps students understand something much deeper, that the beliefs they hold about themselves shape the choices they make every day.
"Value Up is a non-religious, non-political program that focuses on helping students navigate many of the challenges they face today, including self-worth, belonging, peer pressure, healthy relationships, and resilience."
During the presentation, students will explore topics such as self-worth, belonging, peer pressure, healthy relationships, social media, resilience, kindness, and the importance of recognizing the value in themselves and others. Through engaging stories, humor, and practical examples, students will be encouraged to think differently about the way they see themselves and the people around them.
Our hope is that this experience will spark meaningful conversations that continue long after the assembly ends.
Thank you for partnering with us as we work together to create a school culture where every student knows they matter.
Sincerely,
Ryan Jones,
Principal, Elwood Public School
