How to Make Year 12 the Best Year Ever

Home | Speaking | How to Make Year 12 the Best Year Ever

4 teenagers standing on the top of a mountain as the sun sets

Everybody knows Yr 12 is going to be the worst. There’s big exams. There’s big stress. There’s enormous pressure. There’s parent, teacher, and personal expectations. And there’s big goodbye’s.

But… Yr 12 can be the Best Year Ever!

For Students & Parents

Graphic showing intersection between students, parents and teachersIn this unexpectedly energising presentation, Dr Justin Coulson will help Yr 12 students (and their parents) get pumped for an incredible Senior Year at High School, set clear and focused goals, and work to move beyond those awful obstacles that can make achievement so challenging.

Students and their parents will explore the three biggest challenges to making Yr 12 great, and ask themselves crucial questions to set the stage for a year where real success can be found by focusing on what matters most.

At the end of this presentation, students will know what they want and how they’re going to get it. And parents will have the tools they need to encourage and support their children without being overbearing, coercive, or “getting in the way”.

For Teachers

Teachers can be a central support for students in their final year of school. But at times, student motivation suffers and teacher stress multiplies. It can be hard to keep students on track and teachers calm and centred.

This facilitated discussion will lead teachers to an awareness of evidence-based “best practice” strategies for giving students hope, enhancing wellbeing, and strengthening relationships in this vital final year of school.

This is what it takes to have the Best Year Ever!

"The way in which Dr Coulson supported our Design Make Create Faire theme of strengthening connections of dads with their kids was inspirational. His humorous and practical insights into Love, Laughter and Limits I am certain would have had a positive impact on all of the families that were present. What our teachers present shared with me afterwards was the practical implications for the strategies he suggested for families and how they would be applied in the school setting. Truly a gifted, kind and warm human being who is a breath of fresh air, mainly because of his unique ability connect with every parent and every child."
