Inspire Him

Ms Brigit McCormack —

Cathedral Grammar hosted the second of the student seminars aimed at inspiring and initiating discussions around health, sport and well-being.

After our successful Inspire Her seminar, we had more than 180 intermediate boys and teachers from a variety of schools attend a morning specifically for the intermediate boys. 

The boys were treated to an excellent lineup of speakers including Mike King, Jason Gunn and Nick Richie.  Nick Henare was the Master of Ceremonies,  and he certainly got the boys enthusiastic and warmed up ready to engage with the speakers and participate in discussion.

There were many key messages and thought provoking topics for discussion, which many boys were keen to continue to follow up in class time and at home. All speakers made reference to the importance of learning from mistakes and asking for help when needed. Encouraging our boys to do this is something that that we can all do.

Thank you to Marg Foster and Chris Korako from Inspired Events for partnering Grammar in organising the seminars. Thank you also to Nicky Oram for setting up the live Facebook feeds and creating the banners for both events.
