Suggested Program

A strategic use of the various elements of Graham's programs can significantly enhance the value of his visit.

Make the program work best for you!
	It is particularly beneficial, especially on his first visit to a school, for Graham to speak to all three key stakeholder groups: students, teachers and parents. Many schools have used the following program with success. A great benefit of this program is that the enthusiasm of students and staff who hear Graham during the days leading up to the UYT generates increased attendance by parents - often the hardest group to reach

Students

4 x 1 hour whole grade student assemblies (years 9-12 or 8-11)

Or

2 x 1 hour student assemblies (years 9 & 10) Plus a half day workshop with years 11 and/or 12

Staff

WHATEVER SUITS YOUR SCHOOL

Notes

We are happy to tailor any of the programs, in terms of content or timing, to suit a school's particular requirements.

We try and minimise costs by: encouraging schools in the same region to book at the same time and utilising discounted airfares. The more notice a school gives of its preferred date the easier it is to coordinate bookings in the same area.

Youth Specialties Australia, and Graham Hyman Seminars, are funded entirely by the operation of our programs. We receive no government, education department or organisational funding. Consequently there are fees attached to all programs but every effort is made to keep the costs affordable for schools.
